68Ga CXCR-4 PET/CT Imaging in an Atypical Case of Extramedullary Plasmacytoma Mimicking as Renal Cell Carcinoma

We report a case of plasmacytoma with suspicious renal cell carcinoma, in whom 68Ga CXCR-4 PET/CT revealed tracer-avid lesion in the left perinephric region. PET/CT-guided biopsy from the tracer-avid lesion revealed plasmacytoma. PET/CT-imaging and guided biopsy using 68Ga CXCR4 receptor ligand, proved its usefulness for accurate localization of the culprit lesion and helped in definitive management of the patient.
