A Case Series Depicting PSMA Expression in Nonmalignant Lesions

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a widely accepted and used tracer in staging and biochemical recurrences of prostate cancer. PSMA is extensively expressed in normal prostatic epithelial cells and prostate cancer cells, with some amount of expression also in nonprostatic cells. False-positive PSMA uptake in nonmalignant lesions creates ambiguity in disease detection. In such cases, histopathological correlation and radiological follow-up assist in clinical decision-making. In this case series, we illustrate a few cases where PSMA uptake was incidentally found in some of the commonly occurring benign conditions.
