Rare finding detected on PSMA-PET: A nonprostatic lung tumor
A group in Australia has described a rare finding during a prostate cancer restaging PET/CT scan – a pulmonary tumor embolism.
September 25, 2023
Hybrid contrast-enhanced CT (with iodinated contrast bolus timed to maximize pulmonary arterial visualization) and F-18 DCFPyL PSMA-PET images. Contrast CT images (A, B) show an eccentric filling defect in the superior lingula segmental artery of the left lung upper lobe (red arrow). This is concordant with moderately intense PSMA radiotracer expression (black arrows on axial PET-only images, C, and on whole-body maximum intensity projection image, E). Fused PET and contrast-enhanced CT axial image (D) also confirm the lesion (red arrow). No other site of PSMA expressing metastasis is evident on whole-body imaging (E).
