¹⁸F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT uptake in multiple angiolipomas caused by PSMA expression in capillaries: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that was originally cloned in the membrane of prostate gland epithelial cells. It has been confirmed to be highly expressed in prostate cancer cells, and in some non-prostatic tissues, including the brain and some benign lesions. PSMA-based imaging has been extensively used for the assessment of prostate carcinoma. The high uptake of PSMA imaging in these non-prostate cancer lesions may lead to some misdiagnosis. It is of important clinical significance to explore the possible causes of high PSMA uptake in these lesions. Here, we present a case of a 77-year-old man with prostate carcinoma who underwent a whole-body ¹⁸F-PSMA-1007 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan for staging. Th
