Abstract

This article presents the case of an asymptomatic patient with ascending PSA and suspected prostate cancer, who underwent two MRI-targeted prostate biopsies, both of which were negative for this neoplasm. PSMA PET/CT revealed secondary bone implant, while the biopsy of the metastatic lesion showed prostate adenocarcinoma. Docetaxel-based chemotherapy associated with androgen deprivation was performed. Despite the high accuracy of MRI-targeted prostate biopsy, diagnosis can occasionally be difficult, and PSMA PET/CT can help to detect distant lesions and aid the diagnosis.
