Prostate‑specific membrane antigen (PSMA)‑targeted imaging is now an effective tool for the evaluation of prostate cancer patients. Although salivary glands take up 68Ga‑PSMA avidly, pathologies of these glands may be readily noticeable. Herein, we present a case of prostate cancer referred for 68Ga‑PSMA positron emission tomography–computed tomography in whom an isolated aplasia of the submandibular salivary gland was incidentally found.
