Paragangliomas (PGLs) are neuroendocrine tumors originating from the neural crest. They usually arise from the adrenal medulla and sympathetic or parasympathetic ganglions. Approximately 10% of PGLs are located in the extra-adrenal gland. Renal PGL is a rare condition. In this case report, we present the 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT findings of polycystic kidney-derived PGL.
