After 30 Years of Remission, Recurrence With Renal Cell Carcinoma Metastasis Mimicking Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor on 18F-FDG and 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT
A 75-year-old man with a previous history of left nephrectomy for clear cell renal cell carcinoma in remission was underwent 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging for evaluation of pancreatic body lesion. It showed a mass with intense 68 Ga-DOTATATE uptake in the pancreatic corpus. During the follow-up of the patient who did not want to undergo surgery, 18 F-FDG PET/CT scan was performed due to the increase in the size of the mass, and mild FDG uptake was detected in the pancreatic corpus lesion, and histopathological examination was confirmed as renal cell carcinoma metastasis.
