Metastatic PSMA avid prostate tumour with penile uptake; a rare metastatic site on PET-CT

Prostate carcinoma is the most common malignancy in males and the second most common cause of mortality. Initially, metastatic prostate cancers tend to involve bones, but these tumours can involve any system. Gallium-68 prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission computed tomography...

More Information
Summary:Prostate carcinoma is the most common malignancy in males and the second most common cause of mortality. Initially, metastatic prostate cancers tend to involve bones, but these tumours can involve any system. Gallium-68 prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission computed tomography (PET-CT) scan is indicated in prostate cancer patients if PSA levels are raised, and CT and bone scans are inconclusive. Metastatic penile involvement is a rare phenomenon. We present a case of prostate cancer with foci of PSMA uptake in the penile region. .
