18 F-FDG PET/CT in a Case of Clear Cell Sarcoma of the Kidney.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT 18 F-FDG PET/CT was performed in a 1-year-old girl who had a heterogeneous mass in the right abdominal cavity revealed by abdominal ultrasound. A heterogeneous mass with internal necrosis, cystic changes, and hemorrhage in the right kidney, accompanied by a slight increase of FDG uptake, was observed in FDG PET/CT. Malignant renal tumor was considered, and Wilms tumor was preferentially suspected. However, the mass was demonstrated as clear cell sarcoma of the kidney by histopathological examination.
