Renal Metastasis From Primary Colon Cancer on FDG PET-CT
Clinical Nuclear Medicine , 10/06/09

Ho L et al. – The authors report the PET–CT appearance of a metastasis from a primary colon cancer to the right kidney in an 84–year–old woman with a history of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the cecum. The patient underwent right hemicolectomy and chemotherapy. Restaging PET–CT study, 4 months after her last chemotherapy, demonstrates a hypermetabolic soft–tissue mass in the inferior pole of the right kidney. The patient subsequently had a right partial nephrectomy. The pathology was consistent with metastatic colonic adenocarcinoma. Renal metastasis from primary colon cancer is very rare.
