Unexpected Detection of Skeletal Muscle Renal Cell Carcinoma Metastasis With 99mTc-EDDA/HYNIC-Tyr3-Octreotide (Tektrotyd) Scan

We report the case of a 70-year-old man with a history of surgically removed RCC who referred to 99mTc-Tektrotyd scintigraphy for the evaluation of a pancreatic tail lesion. The scan revealed intense tracer uptake in a left splenius cervicis muscle lesion that on biopsy was consistent with metastatic RCC.
