Positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging features of renal cell carcinoma and pulmonary metastases in a dog.
A 9-year-old spayed female cocker spaniel dog was referred for hematuria. A large abdominal mass and multiple pulmonary nodules were identified radiographically. A whole-body 2-deoxy-2-[(18)F]fluoro-d-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan revealed intensely increased uptake in a renal mass and the pulmonary nodules. Renal cell carcinoma was diagnosed on histological examination.
