Imaging appearance of a singular metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma of the right kidney: A case report and literature review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Renal metastasis of a submandibular gland adenoid cystic carcinoma is clinically rare when it presents with an atypical imaging appearance of singular renal metastases. Whole-body positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) can determine whether the singular renal mass is benign or malignant and identify metastases in other parts of the body, particularly in uncommon sites. In the present case, the patient developed a rare partial metastasis to the right kidney three years after undergoing a surgery for submandibular gland adenoid cystic carcinoma. Based on the present case, whole-body PET/CT examination could provide an important basis for making treatment plans for singular renal metastases.
