Abstract:
Urogenital tuberculosis is one of common sites of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. A 60-year-old man with an elevated prostate-specific antigen level underwent multiparametric MRI, which revealed abnormal signals in the prostate. However, the 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT results were unrevealing. Subsequent 68 Ga-FAPI PET/CT imaging revealed intense radioactivity uptake in the prostate and mild radioactivity uptake in the left kidney, which was eventually proven due to tuberculosis.
