68Ga-PSMA Uptake in Prostate Cancer Sciatic Nerve Metastasis

Clin Nucl Med. 2019 Apr;44(4):e301-e302. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000002476.

Abstract

Most prostate cancers spread to regional lymph nodes, axial skeleton and lungs. Perineural malignant involvement is very rare. We present a Ga-PSMA PET/CT image of a sciatic nerve metastasis in a 65-year-old man with recurrent prostate cancer.
