Abstract

68Ga–prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT scan for staging revealed increased 68Ga-PSMA uptake in solar elastosis in a patient with prostate cancer. Solar elastosis is a degenerative condition of elastic tissue in the dermis caused by prolonged sun exposure. A few studies have demonstrated 68Ga-PSMA uptake in cutaneous lesions. This case illustrates another instance of a benign cutaneous lesion accompanied by increased 68Ga-PSMA uptake.
