Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 35-year-old woman with a left kidney mass was diagnosed on ultrasound and CT; however, the diagnosis was inconclusive and therefore she underwent dual-tracer (C-acetate and F-18 FDG) PET/CT. C-acetate PET/CT identified an exophytic lesion in the left kidney and a chain of left para-aortic nodes from left renal vein level to aortic bifurcation with markedly increased metabolism (C-acetate lesion-to-kidney SUV ratio (SUVL/K) = 4.8 and 4.9, respectively) but no abnormal F-18 FDG uptake. The diagnosis of "multicentric angiomyolipoma with low-fat content or angiomyolipoma with malignant transformation and metastases" was suggested. The pathologic diagnosis post partial nephrectomy and lymph nodes resection was "angiomyolipoma with lymph node involvement." |
