Abstract

A 69-year-old man with intermediate-risk prostate cancer and a mildly elevated prostate-specific antigen of 8.2 μg/L was referred for 68Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen (68Ga-PSMA) PET/CT for primary staging. An incidental intensely 68Ga-PSMA-avid hepatic focus was seen on PSMA PET and subsequent FDG PET/CT and MRI cholangiogram. This was confirmed to be hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma on subsequent histopathological examination.
