Abstrakt: Abstract: 68Ga-PSMA-11 (68Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen-11) PET/CT continues to have a great clinical value for staging in prostate cancer. Lymph nodes and bone are the most typical metastatic sites of prostate cancer, whereas liver metastases are rare and usually show focally increased tracer uptake in 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT. Here, we present an 88-year-old man with histologically proven metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and extensive PSMA-negative liver metastases identified by 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT. This finding is remarkable because the decreased liver uptake of 68Ga-PSMA-11 may resemble a primary hepatic tumor.
