While 68 Gallium prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( 68 Ga-PSMA) has demonstrated increasing utility in the evaluation of prostatic carcinoma, it is essential to be aware of false-negative findings. Further subtype analyses of prostate cancer will be helpful in the understanding of the underlying reasons. We herein present a high-grade prostate adenocarcinoma, with metastatic lesions showing high 18 F-labeled fluoro-2-deoxyglucose uptake instead of 68Ga-PSMA.
