Single Adrenal Metastasis From Prostate Cancer Detected by 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and Confirmed by Biopsy: A Case Report

This image demonstrates an unusual presentation of an adrenal metastasis from prostate cancer detected by 68Ga–prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/CT and confirmed by biopsy. A 68-year-old man with prostate cancer persisted with elevated levels of prostate-specific antigen after radical prostatectomy. Imaging identified a single abnormal uptake in the left adrenal gland. A biopsy was performed showing a metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma. The patient received systemic treatment, and his prostate-specific antigen level decreased significantly. Our objective is to illustrate an unusual and single site of prostate cancer metastasis, in which precise histological diagnosis was essential for correct clinical management of the patient.
