Abstract:
An osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign bone neoplasm, characterized by significant nocturnal pain that usually responds to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It occurs most commonly in the lower extremities and vertebrae. Here, we present a case of carcinoma prostate, who was referred to our department for 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan, and we incidentally found out PSMA-avid OO involving frontal bone of skull, which is a rare finding. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case in which high PSMA uptake is found in the OO, suggesting a possible PSMA expression related to osteoblastic activity.
