Subcutaneous Lobular Capillary Hemangioma on 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT

Clin Nucl Med. 2017 Apr;42(4):e214-e215. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000001542.

Abstract

We present a case of a subcutaneous process in the abdominal wall with high prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) activity on Ga-PSMA PET/CT. Histology demonstrated a benign lobular capillary hemangioma with a high vascular density, with highly PSMA-positive endothelial cells. It is well known that PSMA is expressed in different tissue, including neovasculature in various malignant tumors, and the knowledge is rapidly evolving as new discoveries appear.
