Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) shows variable FDG uptake; recently, PET/CT with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-target radiotracers was demonstrated to be a promising tool in staging and restaging of RCC patients. We describe the case of a 77-year-old man with a lung metastasis of papillary RCC missed by CT scan who successfully underwent [18F]FDG PET/CT restaging.

A [68Ga]PSMA PET/CT performed during follow-up demonstrated, among the already known lesions, also a bone marrow metastasis, missed by previous CT scans.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) shows variable FDG uptake; recently, PET/CT with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-target radiotracers was demonstrated to be a promising tool in staging and restaging of RCC patients. We describe the case of a 77-year-old man with a lung metastasis of papillary RCC missed by CT scan who successfully underwent [18F]FDG PET/CT restaging. Targeted therapy with sunitinib was administered. A [68Ga]PSMA PET/CT performed during follow-up demonstrated, among the already known lesions, also a bone marrow metastasis, missed by previous CT scans. This case demonstrates that PET/CT molecular imaging with [18F]FDG and [68Ga]PSMA is superior to conventional imaging in RCC restaging and in assessing therapy response.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
