Metastatic prostate cancer to the appendicular skeleton is rare. We present an 86-year-old man with undiagnosed prostate cancer presenting with unilateral foot pain. CT and MRI demonstrated a sclerotic midfoot suggestive of an infiltrative process. In view of an elevated PSA, metastatic disease was suspected, and bone scan confirmed osteoblastically active pelvic and lower-limb skeletal lesions. Subsequent prostate biopsy confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma. Staging 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT demonstrated PSMA-avid intraprostatic malignancy with pelvic and right lower-limb skeletal metastases. This is an unusual case of de novo 68 Ga-PSMA–avid metastatic prostate cancer with atypical lower-limb skeletal metastases presenting with foot pain.
