Aspergillus infection is relatively rare disease, and we present a case of orbital aspergillus infection who presented with right orbital pain and swelling. Right orbital lesion was identified on CT, MRI, and PET-CT imaging followed by confirmation of aspergillus on histopathological examination. We demonstrate that Tc-99 m ubiquicidin scan can yield positive results in aspergillosis too, enabling its differentiation from non-infective pathologies.

The prevalence of double primary prostate and bladder cancer is not uncommon. Though both share a common pathway of malignant transformation, they bear to differ in the case of 2-[18F]FDG PET/CT and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA uptake. We present a case of double primary cancer involving the bladder and prostate, where the prostatic primary showed intense [68Ga]GaPSMA uptake with non-avid skeletal and pulmonary metastases, which showed intense 2-[18F]FDG uptake, thus showing discordance due to different clonal origins.

Although prostate cancer can metastasize to any part of the body, laryngeal cartilage metastasis is extremely rare and few cases have been published so far. Here we present the case of a 65-year-old male patient, recently diagnosed with prostate adenocarcinoma, referred for staging with 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT. He was found to have extensive skeletal metastasis along with cartilage metastasis involving both thyroid and cricoid cartilages.
