Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma in a Patient With Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) manifests as multiple cysts in the kidneys and liver but can also present with musculoskeletal and cardiovascular abnormalities. ADPKD patients are at increased risk for renal cell carcinoma development. We show the FDG PET/CT findings in a patient with renal cell carcinoma secondary to ADPKD and complicated by worsening pulmonary metastasis. The primary renal tumor shows intense FDG uptake despite no suspicious features with contrast CT.
