(18)F-FDG PET/CT in detection of sarcomatous degeneration of renal angiomyolipoma in setting of tuberous sclerosis.
Angiomyolipomas (AMLs) of kidneys are one of the common extracranial manifestations of tuberous sclerosis (TSC). AMLs when large may cause life-threatening hemorrhage, but seldom undergo malignant degeneration. We describe the appearance of renal AML degenerated to angiosarcoma on (18)F-flruorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT) and contrast-enhanced CT (CECT).
