Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Uptake Heterogeneity in Mixed Ductal-Acinar Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate

Abstract

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET findings of mixed ductal-acinar adenocarcinoma of the prostate are rarely reported. We describe 18 F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT and delayed pelvic 18 F-PSMA-1007 PET/MRI findings in a case of prostatic mixed ductal-acinar adenocarcinoma with multiple lymph node and bone metastases. The primary tumor showed heterogeneous PSMA uptake. The metastases in the right ilium and acetabulum showed intense PSMA uptake, but the pelvic lymph node and left iliac bone metastases showed no significant PSMA uptake. Knowledge of the intraprimary and intermetastatic heterogeneity of PSMA uptake in mixed ductal-acinar adenocarcinoma of the prostate may be helpful for accurate interpretation.
