Case Report: Pituitary metastasis from prostate adenocarcinoma: an integrated diagnosis via 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and methylome analysis

This case highlights the importance of considering metastatic prostate cancer in the differential diagnosis of pituitary lesions, particularly when PSMA PET/CT shows focal uptake in atypical locations. Integration of histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular techniques, such as DNA-methylation profiling, was essential for confirming the diagnosis. Clinicians should remain vigilant for atypical metastatic presentations and leverage advanced diagnostic tools to ensure accurate diagnosis and optimal patient management.

Abstract

This case highlights the importance of considering metastatic prostate cancer in the differential diagnosis of pituitary lesions, particularly when PSMA PET/CT shows focal uptake in atypical locations. Integration of histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular techniques, such as DNA-methylation profiling, was essential for confirming the diagnosis. Clinicians should remain vigilant for atypical metastatic presentations and leverage advanced diagnostic tools to ensure accurate diagnosis and optimal patient management.
