Abstract:
A 32-year-old man with epithelioid hemangioendothelioma was imaged with 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT to evaluate the potential of 177 Lu-PSMA radionuclide therapy after progression findings were observed on follow-up 18 F-FDG PET/CT imaging. Liver lesions showed low FDG SUV max . The lesion-to-background ratio (TBR) was calculated as 5.1/2.9 on 18 F-FDG PET/CT imaging. However, 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT showed moderate PSMA SUV max . TBR was calculated as 4.5/1.1. In conclusion, in this case report, we demonstrated that 68 Ga-PSMA with moderate TBR in epithelioid hemangioendothelioma may be promising for 177 Lu-PSMA radionuclide therapy.
