A case report of perirenal metastases from cervical squamous cell carcinoma on 18F FDG PET-CT
Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of perirenal metastases from squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. Although an uncommon site of distant metastases from cervical cancer, FDG avid soft tissue deposits in the perirenal space should raise suspicion of metastasis, and early biopsy should be done to confirm the diagnosis. Patients with metastatic cervical cancer, including those with perirenal metastasis, have poor outcomes.
