Splenunculus Masquerading as Prostate-specific Membrane Antigen-positive Lymph Node Metastasis in a Patient With Prostate-specific Antigen Relapse After Radical Prostatectomy
Research output: Contribution to journal › Research article › Contributed › peer-review
Abstract
A 45-year-old patient presented with prostate-specific antigen relapse after radical prostatectomy. Diagnostic workup revealed a 68Ga-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted ligand tracer uptaking nodule that was initially interpreted as lymph node metastasis but eventually identified as a splenunculus by scintigraphy with 99mTc pertechnetate-labeled heat-altered erythrocytes. Awareness of this constellation may spare unnecessary diagnostic procedures and inappropriate treatment.
