Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal tract. In this report, we present a patient with a Meckel's diverticulum that was incidentally discovered on prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PSMA PET/CT) imaging performed for prostate cancer staging. We discuss hypotheses for why the Meckel's diverticulum showed high uptake of PSMA-targeted radiotracer and the clinical implications of this finding.
梅克尔憩室是最常见的胃肠道先天性畸形。在本报告中,我们介绍了一名患者,其梅克尔憩室是在为前列腺癌分期而进行的前列腺特异性膜抗原正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(PSMA PET/CT)成像中偶然发现的。我们讨论了梅克尔憩室对PSMA靶向放射性示踪剂摄取高的原因假说以及这一发现的临床意义。
