Abstract

PSMA-targeted PET/CT can be used for diagnosis and staging of clear cell renal cell carcinoma. A 68-year-old woman with suspected hepatic metastases from clear cell renal cell carcinoma underwent PET/CT with 68Ga-PSMA, which showed a focus of moderately increased tracer uptake in the right thyroid lobe. Sonography displayed a correlating hypoechogenic, ill-defined node (TIRADS 5). Right hemithyroidectomy was performed in the assumption of a solitary metastasis of renal cell carcinoma. Histologic examination revealed subacute granulomatous thyroiditis (De Quervain thyroiditis) without evidence of malignancy.
