Abstract:
Plasmacytoid is a rare variant of acinar prostatic adenocarcinoma. The aggressive type is characterized by an aggressive clinical course, lack of responsiveness to hormonal therapies, and an overall poor prognosis. Here we present pretherapy and posttherapy 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT images showing an exceptional response to 177Lu-PSMA therapy. This case demonstrates the usefulness of both 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT in assessing the tumor PSMA avidity and the potential of 177Lu-PSMA therapy in these patients.
