Abstract
Small cell carcinoma (SCC) of the prostate is a very rare entity and one of most aggressive neuroendocrine malignancies of prostate. We present a 60-year-old man with pathology-proven prostatic SCC by transrectal biopsy with ultrasonography guidance and Gleason score of 5 + 5. He was referred to perform 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan for staging. The scan showed PSMA uptake in the prostate bed and multiple large pelvic lymph nodes. As we know, 68Ga-PSMA uptake in the de novo form of SCC of prostate is not commonly found in the literature.
