  • Title: Healing Sacral Fracture Masquerading as Metastatic Bone Disease on a 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT.
    Author: Gykiere P, Goethals L, Everaert H.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2016 Jul; 41(7):e346-7. PubMed ID: 27055135.
    Abstract:
    Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a cell surface glycoprotein, which is frequently overexpressed on prostate cancer cells. A Ga-PSMA PET/CT can be used for early detection of lymph node or bone metastases after radical prostatectomy when there is biochemical recurrence. This report describes PSMA uptake in a healing fracture masquerading as metastatic bone disease in a patient with a history of prostate adenocarcinoma. Clinicians reporting Ga-PSMA PET/CT should be aware of this potential important pitfall.
