Abstract

A 57-year-old man with newly diagnosed with prostate cancer was admitted to our department for 68 Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/CT imaging. The patient, who was asymptomatic at the time of imaging, had increased diffuse 68 Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen uptake in the trachea on PET/CT. No ground-glass density suggestive of pneumonia in both lungs was observed. The patient, whose symptoms developed 2 days after PET/CT imaging, was diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 by real-time polymerase chain reaction.
