68 Ga-DOTATATE Avid Metastatic Vertebral Renal Cell Carcinoma in the Setting of von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome.

Although rare, a metastatic renal cell carcinoma could present with 68 Ga-DOTATATE avidity. A 66-year-old man with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL) presented with 68 Ga-DOTATATE uptake in the pancreatic head, splenic hilar region, and multiple osseous sites, including the right lateral portion of the T9 vertebrae. Biopsy of the T9 lesion confirmed metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Various VHL-associated cancers may display 68 Ga-DOTATATE avidity, which can change and guide clinical decisions for the patient.
