Abstract:

We report the case of a 74-year-old man with suspected recurrent prostate carcinoma who underwent F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT for restaging the disease. PET/CT imaging presented an incidentaloma with intense F-PSMA-1007 uptake in the right thyroid lobe. Biopsy and genomic sequencing test confirmed the diagnosis of Hürthle cell thyroid adenoma. Therefore, it is important to raise awareness of this benign lesion in the differential diagnosis of incidental thyroid nodules with high F-PSMA-1007 activity.

Positron Emission Tomography

Positron Emission Tomography

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...
