68 Ga-PSMA Uptake in Solar Elastosis

Clin Nucl Med. 2024 Jan 1;49(1):106-107. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000004967. Epub 2023 Nov 24.

Abstract

68 Ga-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT scan for staging revealed increased 68 Ga-PSMA uptake in solar elastosis in a patient with prostate cancer. Solar elastosis is a degenerative condition of elastic tissue in the dermis caused by prolonged sun exposure. A few studies have demonstrated 68 Ga-PSMA uptake in cutaneous lesions. This case illustrates another instance of a benign cutaneous lesion accompanied by increased 68 Ga-PSMA uptake.
