Abstract

This is a case of [(68) Ga]Ga-Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-11 PET/CT in a 73-years old patient presenting high Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) levels despite both multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and 12-core saturation biopsy negative for prostate cancer (Pca). This is a highly interesting case because, despite the advanced metastatic spread at initial presentation as showed by [(68)Ga]Ga-PSMA-PET/CT, the primary Pca was detected by none of the diagnostic techniques (12 random sample biopsy, mpMRI, PSMA PET/CT). However, [(68)Ga]Ga-PSMA-PET/CT showed a suspicious axillary lesion suitable for biopsy, which finally resulted as Pca metastasis. This case report is therefore a brilliant example of how [(68)Ga]Ga-PSMA-PET/CT optimized patient's management.
