A 63-year-old man with elevated prostate-specific antigen serum levels and enlarged prostate gland underwent ultrasound-guided transrectal biopsy, which did not reveal any evidence of malignancy. In order to help guidance of repeat biopsy, Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted ligand PET (PSMA PET/CT) was ordered. PET/CT scan showed no abnormal PSMA expression within the prostate gland. There were, however, multiple PSMA-expressing osteolytic lesions throughout the axial skeleton. Bone lesion biopsy obtained for final workup revealed multiple solitary plasmacytomas with multifocal bone involvement. This rare case highlights the utility of PSMA PET/CT in diagnosing nonprostate malignancies.
一位 63 岁男性,前列腺特异性抗原血清水平升高且前列腺肿大,行超声引导下经直肠前列腺活检术,但未发现恶性肿瘤的证据。为了帮助指导重复活检,进行了 Ga-前列腺特异性膜抗原靶向配体 PET(PSMA PET/CT)检查。PET/CT 扫描显示前列腺内无异常 PSMA 表达。然而,整个轴骨有多个表达 PSMA 的溶骨性病变。为最终检查进行的骨病变活检显示多发性孤立性浆细胞瘤伴多处骨累及。这个罕见病例突出了 PSMA PET/CT 在诊断非前列腺恶性肿瘤中的应用。
