Not All Glittering Bone Lesions Are Gold: A Case of Sclerotic Bone Lesions with Elevated Ga PSMA and Tc HDP Uptake with No Signs of Malignancy.

Gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( Ga PSMA PET/CT) outperforms CT and bone scintigraphy in terms of diagnostic accuracy for the primary staging of prostate cancer and has become widely used. However, Ga PSMA uptake is also encountered in nonprostatic tissue. We present a 63-year-old male with newly diagnosed high-risk prostate cancer who underwent bone scintigraphy with single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT), which showed inhomogeneous elevated uptake in sclerotic bone lesions in the pelvis. Likewise, Ga PSMA PET/CT revealed inhomogeneous uptake in the same areas. Subsequent biopsy revealed hyperplastic bone marrow without signs of malignancy. The patient underwent radical prostatectomy, and the prostate-specific antigen level dropped to less than 0.1 ng/mL.
