Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) overexpression has been described in various malignancies. Hereby we present a case of a 69-year-old man simultaneously diagnosed with prostate cancer, esophageal adenocarcinoma, and HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma). 18F-FDG PET/CT showed pathological uptake in the esophageal adenocarcinoma and the primary prostate tumor, whereas 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT performed for staging of the histopathologically confirmed prostate cancer revealed the primary tumor and significant uptake in the HCC. This finding is remarkable because the high physiological liver uptake of 68Ga-PSMA-11 may hamper the detection of small lesions.
前列腺特异性膜抗原(PSMA)在各种恶性肿瘤中过度表达。在此,我们报告了一例 69 岁男性,同时被诊断患有前列腺癌、食管腺癌和 HCC(肝细胞癌)。18F-FDG PET/CT 显示食管腺癌和原发性前列腺肿瘤存在病理性摄取,而 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT 用于组织病理学证实的前列腺癌分期显示原发性肿瘤和 HCC 有明显摄取。这一发现很显著,因为 68Ga-PSMA-11 的高生理性肝脏摄取可能会阻碍对小病变的检测。
