Abstract

Few articles in literature describe the potential usefulness of 18 F-choline PET/CT and particularly 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT in imaging of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). We report a unique comparison in literature between the 2 radiotracers in a patient who underwent left nephrectomy with diagnosis of ccRCC, grade 3. 68 Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT confirmed its emerging role in imaging ccRCC, as the incidentally detected renal neoplasm showed a significant higher uptake in comparison to 18 F-choline PET/CT, inducing surgical indication.
