Abstract
We report the FDG PET/CT findings of renal infarction in a 75-year-old woman patient who received chemotherapy for gastric adenocarcinoma. The patient was referred to our hospital for the evaluation of her response to chemotherapy. PET/CT detected circumferential increased FDG uptake in the outer part of the left renal cortex. The remaining of the renal cortex was photopenic. Abdominal CT angiography showed no contrast enhancement within the renal parenchyma. There was no contrast enhancement in the lumen of the left renal artery. These findings were thought to be consistent with the left renal infarct due to the occlusion of the left renal artery.
