Abstract

Prostate cancer commonly metastasizes to the skeleton, with multiple bones typically affected. Solitary metastasis in the appendicular skeleton, particularly in the scapula, is exceedingly rare. We present the case of a 75-year-old man with prostate adenocarcinoma, who initially presented with scapular bone metastasis detected using Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT. Imaging revealed intense uptake in a sclerotic lesion in the left scapula, suggesting a solitary metastasis.
