Key Points

This research aims to detail the PET/CT imaging characteristics of low-grade oncocytic tumors in the kidney.
Conducted imaging analysis using 18F-FDG PET/CT.
Evaluated a case involving an 18-year-old woman.
Utilized multimodal imaging prior to PET/CT.
Confirmed diagnosis through histopathological examination after surgical resection.
Identified mild focal renal FDG uptake in the oncocytic tumor.
Multifocal and heterogeneous renal lesions were present prior to imaging.
Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of an oncocytic tumor.

Abstract

We present the 18 F-FDG PET/CT findings in an 18-year-old woman with low-grade oncocytic tumors (LOT) of the kidney. Before 18 F-FDG PET/CT imaging, multimodal imaging revealed multifocal and heterogeneous renal lesions in this 18-year-old woman. On 18 F-FDG PET/CT, the tumors showed mild focal renal FDG. The diagnosis of oncocytic tumor was histopathologically confirmed following surgical resection.
