Although PSMA-targeted PET imaging is predominantly used for prostate carcinoma (PC), it has also been reported for thyroid carcinoma (TC). A 77-year-old man had a liver metastasectomy for poorly differentiated TC, which had elevated 18 F-FDG uptake. Two years later, he was diagnosed with acinar-type modified Gleason score of 7 (3 + 4) PC. Four years later, he had metastatic liver lesions that had no radioactive iodine and 18 F-FDG avidity. These lesions were 68 Ga-PSMA avid, and the biopsy confirmed TC metastasis. This case emphasizes the importance of 68 Ga-PSMA-based imaging in poorly differentiated TC and pathological confirmation for lesions that were 68 Ga-PSMA-positive.
尽管 PSMA 靶向 PET 成像主要用于前列腺癌 (PC),但也有报道用于甲状腺癌 (TC)。一名 77 岁男性因低分化 TC 进行了肝转移切除术,该 TC 摄取 18 F-FDG 升高。两年后,他被诊断出患有腺泡型改良 Gleason 评分 7(3+4)PC。四年后,他出现了转移性肝病变,这些病变没有放射性碘和 18 F-FDG 摄取。这些病变对 68 Ga-PSMA 具有亲和力,活检证实为 TC 转移。本病例强调了基于 68 Ga-PSMA 的成像在低分化 TC 中的重要性,以及对 68 Ga-PSMA 阳性病变进行病理确认的重要性。
