ABSTRACT
Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has been shown to be useful in the diagnosis and staging of various malignancies. The main advantage of PET is its high sensitivity in identifying malignancies at an early stage. The authors present a patient in whom transthoracic echography and MRI revealed a right atrial mass. The diagnosis was difficult between tumor and thrombus, but PET imaging correctly suggested a malignant tumor.

ABSTRACT
We report an uncommon case of small renin secreting tumor of the kidney located in the medulla. The tumor was primarily detected by MRI and subsequently studied by spiral CT. The results and limitations of both techniques are discussed.
