Ga-68-PSMA PET/CT is commonly used for prostate cancer imaging, but it can also be used for other pathologies. H. pylori infection can cause benign gastric mass formation with increased PSMA concentration.
Ga-68-PSMA PET/CT is one of the most common imaging uses for prostate cancer imaging. Although initially thought to be specific for prostate cancer, there are many evidences that are coming of its concentration in many other neoplastic and nonneoplastic pathologies. Helicobacter pylori is the most common bacteria causing gastric inflammation and usually presents with gastroduodenal ulcer. Here we present one unusual case of benign gastric mass formation caused by H. pylori infection with PSMA concentration.
