| Popis: | A 51-year-old man with high-grade ductal variant of prostate cancer with normal prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels underwent radical prostatectomy. Follow-up 18F-prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted ligand 1007 (PSMA-1007) PET/CT revealed enlarged PSMA-expressing left common iliac node. Patient was placed on androgen deprivation therapy and was lost to follow-up. Repeat 18F-PSMA PET/CT scan after 16 months showed disease progression. PSA levels were still within normal limits. This case highlights the utility of 18F-PSMA PET/CT for staging and follow-up of patients with this rare ductal variant prostate cancer with normal PSA levels. |
