Benign Esophageal Findings on 68Ga–Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen PET/CT ScanJochumsen, Mads Ryø, MD; Klingenberg, Søren, BSc(Med); Bouchelouche, Kirsten, MD, DMScClinical Nuclear Medicine: December 2018 - Volume 43 - Issue 12 - p e468–e470 doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000002295 Interesting Images Buy Abstract Author InformationAuthors Article MetricsMetrics In 2 high-risk prostate cancer patients, PET scans revealed focally increased 68Ga–prostate-specific membrane antigen uptake in the distal esophagus. Both patients had hiatus herniation on gastroscopy, and esophageal biopsies revealed acute and chronic inflammation in both patients and a benign hyperplastic polyp in one of the patients. Recently, reports have demonstrated that inflammation can cause false-positive findings on 68Ga–prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/CT, and these cases present this phenomenon in the esophagus as well.
