Incidental Detection of Renal Cell Carcinoma on 18F-NOTA-Pentixather PET/CT in a Patient With Aldosterone-producing Adenoma
We report the 18 F-NOTA-pentixather PET/CT findings of aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) coincidence with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in a 36-year-old man. He went to the hospital for persistent hypertension and new limb numbness and weakness. CT showed a nodule in the left adrenal gland, suggestive of an adenoma. 18 F-NOTA-pentixather PET/CT showed the nodule with high NOTA-pentixather uptake. A surprisingly NOTA-pentixather-avid lesion in the right kidney was also noted. Postoperative pathology supported a diagnosis of APA of the left adrenal gland nodule, and the right kidney lesion was RCC.
