A 69-year-old man who was diagnosed with renal transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) underwent F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT) for detecting recurrence after chemotherapy. FDG PET/CT revealed multiple new hypermetabolic lesions in many places, including the right thyroid gland. Biopsy of the thyroid lesion was performed, and a diagnosis of metastatic TCC was made. We could detect thyroid metastasis of renal TCC by FDG PET/CT.
一名69岁被诊断为肾移行细胞癌(TCC)的男性患者,在化疗后接受了F-18氟脱氧葡萄糖(FDG)正电子发射断层扫描与计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)以检测复发情况。FDG PET/CT显示多处出现多个新的高代谢病灶,包括右侧甲状腺。对甲状腺病灶进行了活检,确诊为转移性TCC。我们通过FDG PET/CT能够检测到肾TCC的甲状腺转移。
