Case in brief

An 86-year-old man with recurrent prostate cancer underwent an 18 F-PSMA PET/CT scan, revealing an incidental soft tissue nodule in the penile shaft. Initial fine needle aspiration was nondiagnostic, leading to surgical excision. Histopathology confirmed the lesion as a traumatic neuroma, highlighting the importance of thorough investigation of incidental findings.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

Clinicians should consider the possibility of benign lesions, such as traumatic neuromas, when encountering incidental findings on imaging studies, especially in patients with a history of malignancy.
