Abstract

Prostate cancer is the fifth leading cause of death in the male population worldwide. 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT has proved to be an excellent modality with greater accuracy for nodal and bone/visceral metastases staging than bone scintigraphy and CT scan, with high sensitivity and specificity. Common sites of metastasis include bone (84%), lymph nodes (10.6%), liver (10.2%), lung, and pleura (9.1%); however, metastasis to the skin is quite rare (≤0.36%). The present case demonstrates PSMA-avid perineal metastasis in a patient of prostate cancer postchemoradiotherapy on 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan.
