Incidental Finding of a PSMA-Positive Pancreatic Cancer in a Patient Suffering from a Metastasized PSMA-Positive Prostate Cancer
An 82-year-old man suffering from prostate cancer that was scheduled for a radioreceptor-ligand therapy (RLT) presented with jaundice to our service. An abdominal ultrasound (US) revealed obstructive extrahepatic cholestasis due to a solid lesion located in the uncinate process of the pancreas. The...

| description | An 82-year-old man suffering from prostate cancer that was scheduled for a radioreceptor-ligand therapy (RLT) presented with jaundice to our service. An abdominal ultrasound (US) revealed obstructive extrahepatic cholestasis due to a solid lesion located in the uncinate process of the pancreas. The Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) PET/CT prior to RLT showed multilocular PSMA positive tumor lesions in the lymph nodes, the lung and the pancreas. On request of the cancer board, an Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)-guided Fine-Needle Aspiration (FNA) of the pancreatic mass was performed revealing invasive pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma incompatible with a prostate cancer metastasis leading to the diagnosis of a PSMA positive pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. |
