Abstract

We reported the case of a 76-year-old man followed up since 2008 for a prostatic adenocarcinoma with pelvic and retroperitoneal nodes. He was initially treated by hormonotherapy with a good biological response. Twelve years after, he demonstrated an increased PSA level up to 10.2 ng/mL. He underwent a 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT, which shown an intense uptake by a left iliac extern mass, suspected of recurrence. The histology concluded in a hibernoma.
