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-[ 18 F]FDG PET/CT and [ 68 Ga]Ga-PSMA uptake. We present a case of double primary cancer involving the bladder and prostate, where the prostatic primary showed intense [ 68 Ga]Ga-PSMA uptake with non-avid skeletal and pulmonary metastases, which showed intense 2-[ 18 F]FDG uptake, thus showing discordance due to different clonal origins.
