A 74-year-old lady with lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum presented with symptomatic anemia. Imaging revealed a new diagnosis of metastatic cancer of presumed lung origin, with a new soft tissue myocardial lesion adjacent to the right atrium within the region of lipomatous hypertrophy. This was favored to represent a myocardial metastasis within concurrent lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum.

An incidental intensely 68Ga-PSMA-avid hepatic focus was seen on PSMA PET and subsequent FDG PET/CT and MRI cholangiogram.

Needle biopsy confirmed metastatic renal cell cancer, which was surgically excised with wedge resection. Follow-up imaging 6 months later demonstrated a second slowly enlarging subcentimeter nodule in the contralateral lung with increasing FDG avidity, suspicious of further small volume oligometastatic disease.

Excision biopsy confirmed adenocarcinoma of lung origin. Further evaluation with 18F-FDG PET/CT demonstrated FDG-avid disease in the right thorax, axilla, and lower neck and isolated cutaneous uptake in the right forearm.

Postoperatively his prostate specific antigen was undetectable. However, his prostate specific antigen was slowly rising and he was referred for a Galium-Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) PET/CT scan.
