Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common form of vasculitis that mostly affects medium- and large-sized arteries. 18Fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is increasingly used to diagnose inflammation of large arteries in GCA. Galium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT has a vital role in the assessment of patients with prostate cancer for recurrence and metastasis of the disease. Various benign and non-prostate malignant conditions may give rise to increased PSMA uptake. Herein, we demonstrate that PSMA uptake can be seen in GCA.
