AI Article Synopsis
- A 71-year-old man with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) underwent a [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scan, revealing active lumbar spondylodiscitis.
- The PET/CT indicated that both the prostate cancer and the spondylodiscitis were PSMA-positive.
- This case highlights the importance of considering spondylodiscitis as a potential diagnosis for PSMA-positive findings in the spine, especially when intervertebral spaces and surrounding soft tissue are affected.
Article Abstract
We report a [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan of a 71-year-old man with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and concomitant active lumbar spondylodiscitis, both PSMA-positive on a PET/CT scan. This interesting image should advise colleagues to consider spondylodiscitis as a differential diagnosis of PSMA-positive findings in the spine, particularly if intervertebral space and soft tissue are involved.
