RESUMO
A 76-year-old man with a prior medical history of resected malignant melanoma of the skull underwent Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT due to rising tumor markers of a known prostate carcinoma. Unexpected high Ga-PSMA brain uptake was encountered around the surgical cavity in the skull with initially no specific structural changes on anatomical imaging. Successive CT and MRI eventually revealed local melanoma brain recurrence at this site. This interesting case demonstrates the diagnostic potential of Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging for detection of malignant melanoma brain recurrence.
