摘要
The prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is expressed by both prostate cancer and other neoplasms. We report the case of a 65-year-old man with castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer who underwent Ga-68-PSMA ligand PET/CT for restaging of disease. Ga-68-PSMA ligand accumulation was noted in a thyroid lesion, suspicious for thyroid malignancy on complementary ultrasound. Subsequent resection and histopathological analysis showed follicular thyroid adenoma with PSMA expression in tumor neovasculature endothelial cells, but not in thyroid epithelial cells. It is important to be aware that both malignant and benign thyroid neoplasms may show PSMA expression to avoid misinterpretation.
