Abstract:
We reported the case of a 73-year-old man for whom a prostatic adenocarcinoma with synchronous bone metastases was diagnosed. Because his disease was progressing despite several lines of chemotherapy and hormonotherapy, he was screened with a 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT for a possible 177 Lu-PSMA-617 therapy. The examination demonstrated an intense diffuse bone uptake related to the known bone involvement. It also showed an unexpected diffuse and intense lung uptake, secondary to an active polyangiitis granulomata. This intense lung uptake prohibits the radioligand therapy.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
