18 F-FDG PET/CT detects Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Masquerading as Primary Breast Malignancy.
Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2018 December
We present the case of a 36-year-old woman who underwent 18 F-FDG PET/CT with suspicion of a primary breast malignancy. However, PET/CT detected an occult renal cell carcinoma with metastases to the thyroid, breast, lungs and lymph nodes. Thyroid and breast metastases are atypical metastatic sites of renal cell carcinoma. Breast metastases from extra mammary tissue are extremely rare, more so from renal cell carcinoma. Histopathologic confirmation of the breast lesions is imperative to avoid unnecessary mastectomy and imaging can help in raising the suspicion of metastatic involvement versus primary breast malignancy.
