Abstract:
Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies. Imaging tools play an important role throughout the entire process of the disease. The scenario, however, is going to change. Thanks to a higher sensitivity and specificity, the use of the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET is of increasing importance, particularly at the time of diagnosis and in case of biochemical recurrence. Nevertheless, previous reports have described false-positive findings, as tracer-avid physiological findings or benign processes, potential pitfalls for interpretation of Ga-PSMA PET/CT. Here we report a case of PSMA uptake in a histologically proven fibrous dysplasia.

Globular and Fibrous Proteins
Globular proteins are also known as spheroproteins and typically are approximately round in shape. They contain a mix of amino acid types and contain differing sequences in their primary structures. Globular proteins have many different functions, such as enzymes, cellular messengers, and molecular transporters. These roles often require the proteins to be...

Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...
