Abstract:We describe FDG PET/CT findings in a patient with a solitary isolated renal metastasis from squamous cell lung cancer. The renal metastasis appeared as a small focus of activity at the renal cortex on FDG PET/CT at initial staging of the lung tumor, misinterpreted as cortical tracer retention, and was significantly enlarged on the second FDG PET/CT performed 4 months after the first PET/CT. This case demonstrates the usefulness of FDG PET/CT in identifying unexpected extrathoracic metastasis from lung cancer. … Show more
