Two, respectively, 72- and 76-year-old men with recently diagnosed high-risk prostate cancer were referred for primary staging with Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT. In both patients, the PET scans revealed increased Ga-PSMA uptake in, respectively, 3 and 4 rib fractures, characteristically placed as "pearls on a string." These cases illustrate important pitfalls when reporting PSMA PET.
两名分别为 72 岁和 76 岁的男性患者,近期被诊断为高危前列腺癌,接受 Ga-前列腺特异性膜抗原(PSMA)PET/CT 进行原发分期。在这两名患者中,PET 扫描分别显示 3 处和 4 处肋骨骨折处 Ga-PSMA 摄取增加,特征性地呈现为“串珠样”。这些病例说明了报告 PSMA PET 时的重要陷阱。
