Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a widely accepted and used tracer in staging and biochemical recurrences of prostate cancer. PSMA is extensively expressed in normal prostatic epithelial cells and prostate cancer cells, with some amount of expression also in nonprostatic cells. False-positive PSMA uptake in nonmalignant lesions creates ambiguity in disease detection. In such cases, histopathological correlation and radiological follow-up assist in clinical decision-making. In this case series, we illustrate a few cases where PSMA uptake was incidentally found in some of the commonly occurring benign conditions.
前列腺特异性膜抗原(PSMA)是前列腺癌分期和生化复发中广泛接受和使用的示踪剂。PSMA在正常前列腺上皮细胞和前列腺癌细胞中广泛表达,在非前列腺细胞中也有一定量的表达。非恶性病变中PSMA摄取的假阳性在疾病检测中造成了不确定性。在这种情况下,组织病理学相关性和影像学随访有助于临床决策。在本病例系列中,我们举例说明了一些在一些常见良性疾病中偶然发现PSMA摄取的病例。
