Abstract
The prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is highly expressed in prostatic cancer. However, PSMA expression is also noted in various benign and malignant nonprostatic neoplasms in the endothelial cells of tumor-associated neovasculature. We performed Ga-PSMA PET/CT in a 14-year-old boy with juvenile nasal angiofibroma (JNA) to explore its theranostic potential. The scan revealed high uptake in the lesion. Performance of PSMA PET/CT in JNA opens up new frontiers with respect to radiological staging, early recurrence identification, and perhaps even radioligand therapy of residual/recurrent JNAs in the future.Entities:
