Summary
A renal oncocytoma showed unusual metabolic changes, increasing in FDG and I131 uptake over time. This case highlights diagnostic challenges in differentiating benign renal tumors from potential renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Nuclear Medicine
- Diagnostic Imaging
Background:
- Renal oncocytomas are typically benign tumors.
- Metabolic activity in oncocytomas can vary, posing diagnostic challenges.
- FDG PET/CT and I131 scans are used in cancer staging and follow-up.

Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
