Published: January 2025

A 23-year-old man presented to the ED with a history of respiratory distress, cough, and fever for 10 days. He was evaluated in the ED, where he received a diagnosis of pulmonary edema, secondary to mitral regurgitation with mitral valve prolapse syndrome. He was treated with antibiotics and diuretics and discharged to home. Three months later, he returned to the ED with similar complaints, for which he was treated symptomatically and discharged. After 4 months, the patient once again appeared with worsening respiratory distress and cough with fever. The dyspnea was not accompanied by orthopnea, pedal edema, or palpitation. The patient was admitted to the medical ICU. He had no history of arthralgia, myalgia, skin rash, or other signs of autoimmune disease. He denied any history of smoking, work-related or occupational exposures, drug intake, or recent travel.

Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is a type of drug-induced skin inflammation characterized by the recurrence of lesions in the same region following repeated exposure to the causative drug. FDE typically presents as localized spots or plaques without systemic symptoms; however, it can manifest in other forms, such as blisters and papules. In FDE, effector memory CD8-positive T cells that remain dormant in the basal layer after a previous inflammation are reactivated upon re-exposure to the causative drug, leading to the development of erythema at the same sites.

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) as a subtype of sarcoma is rare and aggressive. We present the case of a 23-year-old man with a histologically confirmed DSRCT who underwent 18F-PSMA PET/CT before prostate biopsy and surgical resection of the tumor. It is well known that PSMA PET has a high accuracy for detecting clinically significant prostate adenocarcinoma and is useful in guiding prostate biopsy.
