Abstract

We describe the case of an 82-year-old man who underwent 68 Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen-11 (68 Ga-PSMA-11) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for the restaging of prostate carcinoma. 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT unexpectedly showed increased tracer uptake homogenously involving the axial and appendicular bone marrow and the spleen, not characteristic for metastatic prostate disease. Further investigations revealed that 2 months before the patient underwent bone marrow biopsy, which showed the occurrence of monolinear myelodysplasia.
