Functional oncocytoma of the kidney: evaluation by dual tracer scintigraphy
1Department of Radiology, Boston City Hospital, Boston University School of Medicine, Massachusetts.
Abstract:
We report a case of renal oncocytoma with a unique scintigraphic pattern. The tumor showed strong avidity for [123I]iodohippurate, but no affinity for [99mTc] glucoheptonate. We offer an explanation for such exceptional scintigraphic finding, which may potentially enable us to make a pre-operative diagnosis of renal oncocytoma in the future.
