  • Title: Synchronous squamous cell carcinomas of the esophagus and renal pelvis.
    Author: Hsieh TC, Wu YC, Sun SS, Chiang IP, Yang CF, Yen KY, Kao CH.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2011 Nov; 36(11):e171-4. PubMed ID: 21975416.
    Abstract:
    A 55-year-old man was incidentally diagnosed with a superficial squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus. However, the systemic survey with FDG PET/CT revealed a picture of more advanced disease because of the regional lymph node metastases and a suspected distal metastasis in the left renal pelvis, which was somewhat strange for a small superficial esophageal cancer. Subsequently, the renal pelvic lesion was confirmed as squamous cell carcinoma. However, a primary tumor rather than metastasis in the renal pelvis was considered according to the histologic characteristics and radiologic findings.
