Accumulation of99mTc-PMT in renal metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma

Accumulation of99mTc-PMT in renal metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma

We describe here a case in which^sup 99m^Tc-Sn-N-pyridoxy-5-methyltryptophan (^sup 99m^Tc-PMT) scintigraphy was useful in diagnosing renal metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A 62-year-old man who had undergone hepatectomy for HCC presented 6 years after initial diagnosis with left flank p...

Description
Summary:We describe here a case in which^sup 99m^Tc-Sn-N-pyridoxy-5-methyltryptophan (^sup 99m^Tc-PMT) scintigraphy was useful in diagnosing renal metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A 62-year-old man who had undergone hepatectomy for HCC presented 6 years after initial diagnosis with left flank pain and was found on CT and MRI to have a tumor in the left kidney. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy using^sup 99m^Tc-PMT was performed, and^sup 99m^Tc-PMT accumulation was found in the tumor. Nephrectomy was performed and metastasis of HCC was confirmed.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
