68Ga-PSMA PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT in Renal Cell Carcinoma

Clin Nucl Med. 2020 Jul;45(7):e317-e319. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000003053.

Abstract

Recent case reports and series have demonstrated the usefulness of Ga/F-PSMA PET/CT in restaging recurrent renal cancer after nephrectomy. We presented a case of a patient with renal mass who had undergone both F-FDG and Ga-PSMA PET/CT for diagnosis and staging. Concordant tracer uptake in the primary tumor and metastatic lesions was demonstrated by both radiotracers. Final histopathological reports revealed clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Furthermore, unusual left metacarpal bone metastasis was also detected.
