A 64-year-old man with a history of metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer was referred for progress Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging. Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging demonstrated increased DOTATATE uptake (SUVmax 13. 8) in the left thigh localized to a soft tissue lesion. Cytopathology of the resected lesion was in keeping with a clear cell renal cell cancer metastasis. This case illustrates that Ga-DOTATATE accumulation in a soft tissue lesion can be due to a clear cell renal cell cancer metastasis.
