18F-PSMA Expression in Amoebic Liver Abscesses Mimics as Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT imaging has revolutionized the management of prostate cancer. Increased PSMA expression is also reported in many benign pathologies and can lead to diagnostic pitfalls if not carefully considered. The knowledge of these conditions is crucial in clinical decision-making in prostate cancer. Here, we highlight a case of liver amoebic abscesses interpreted as necrotic hepatic metastases on ultrasonography showing PSMA expression in periphery of the early hepatic amoebic lesions.

Abstract

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT imaging has revolutionized the management of prostate cancer. Increased PSMA expression is also reported in many benign pathologies and can lead to diagnostic pitfalls if not carefully considered. The knowledge of these conditions is crucial in clinical decision-making in prostate cancer. Here, we highlight a case of liver amoebic abscesses interpreted as necrotic hepatic metastases on ultrasonography showing PSMA expression in periphery of the early hepatic amoebic lesions.
