We report 3 patients with COVID-19 findings in 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT taken for staging. The first patient, A 64-year-old man with prostate cancer, who had COVID-19 in November 2020 and whose treatment was completed, was observed to continue with COVID-19 findings in 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT in December 2020 before surgery. Other patients were asymptomatic for the disease. It was determined that a PSMA uptake in the lungs corresponding to the CT findings of COVID-19 had increased in 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT.
68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT is a well-known modality in diagnosis, staging, and in predicting therapy response of neuroendocrine tumors. We present a case of 63-year-old woman with diagnosis of pancreas neuroendocrine tumor showing 68 Ga-DOTATATE uptake in a lymph node in left axilla. It was diagnosed as capillary hemangioma after biopsy. 68 Ga-DOTATATE uptake in bone hemangiomas is well-known; however, its uptake in a nodal hemangioma is worth to know as it might change the clinical perspective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
