Abstract
18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ( 18F-FDG PET) imaging is a useful modality in detecting various tumors, including renal cell carcinoma. We evaluated a patient with renal pelvic tumor (transitional cell carcinoma) with multiple metastases using 18F-FDG PET imaging and detected abnormal increased uptake of a right renal pelvic tumor extending to the renal cortex with liver metastasis and paraaortic lymph node metastases. These results suggest that 18F-FDG PET imaging may be useful in detecting primary and metastatic lesions of renal pelvic tumor (transitional cell carcinoma).
