title: Primary Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Kidney on FDG PET/CT.
abstract: A 28-year-old woman presented gradually worsening intermittent right groin pain for 10 months. FDG PET/CT was performed to evaluate the suspected renal malignancy. The images demonstrated a large hypermetabolic tumor occupying the entire right kidney. Pathological examination demonstrated a primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the kidney.
