摘要：

We present a case of sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Although preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans demonstrated small lung and pleural nodules and mediastinal lymphadenopathy, these findings were not conclusive for metastases. Whole-body fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and CT (FDG-PET/CT) performed 15 days after right nephrectomy showed intense FDG uptake in the aforementioned lesions (lung and pleural nodules, mediastinal lymph nodes). Unexpectedly, focal increased FDG uptake was found in the right infraspinatus muscle. FDG-PET/CT was considered useful for evaluating distant metastases and thus portending the aggressive nature of sarcomatoid RCC.
