title: Squamous cell carcinoma of the right kidney on FDG PET-CT.
abstract: We report the PET-CT appearance of a newly diagnosed, biopsy proven squamous cell carcinoma of the right kidney in a 61-year-old man who presented with hematuria. This is a rare tumor, with few cases reported in the literature. The patient subsequently underwent right nephrectomy shortly after the initial staging PET-CT study.
