The diagnostic performance of F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for primary kidney tumors is limited. Nevertheless, F-FDG PET/CT is valuable for staging renal cell carcinoma (RCC) when suspected metastases coexist, as one-third of patients with RCC have distant metastases upon diagnosis. Herein, we present a 53-year-old male patient with extensive F-FDG-avid metastatic lesions and an F-FDG-avid renal mass, which later revealed RCC.
F-氟脱氧葡萄糖（F-FDG）正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描（PET/CT）对原发性肾肿瘤的诊断效能有限。然而，当怀疑存在转移灶共存时，F-FDG PET/CT对肾细胞癌（RCC）分期有重要价值，因为三分之一的RCC患者在诊断时已有远处转移。在此，我们报告一名53岁男性患者，其存在广泛的F-FDG摄取阳性的转移灶以及一个F-FDG摄取阳性的肾肿块，后来证实为RCC。
