: Gallium-68-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (68Ga-PSMA), as a relatively new positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer, can be used to evaluate tumors other than prostate cancer, including renal cell carcinoma and probably non-small cell lung cancer, as discussed in our case. We present the case of a 65-year-old man with a history of lung adenocarcinoma diagnosed in 2015 and a subsequent diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma in 2018, treated with a right lower lobectomy and a left partial nephrectomy, respectively. Both conditions were evaluated using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) scan before surgery. A rise in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was detected in the follow-up in September 2020, and the patient was referred for a 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan following pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan demonstrated avid lesions in both lung and kidney surgical beds. The 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan can be potentially used in patients with recurrent renal cell carcinoma to detect metastasis. This modality may also detect non-small cell lung cancer lesions; however, further investigation is needed.

Abstract Radical radiation therapy for oligorecurrent prostate cancer is considered to improve both overall and disease-specific survival. Therefore, accurate diagnosis by imaging is important when considering the indications for radiation therapy. We present a case of marginal recurrence of bone metastases from castration-resistant prostate cancer previously treated with radical radiation therapy, which could not be detected by bone single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) but could be diagnosed by 68Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (68Ga-PSMA PET/CT). Bone SPECT/CT showed false-positive tracer uptake in the lesion previously irradiated. 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan showed no abnormal uptake in the previously irradiated lesion, but showed intense uptake in the newly developed metastasis near the irradiated site. 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan may be able to diagnose marginal recurrence after radiation therapy more accurately than bone SPECT/CT.
