Abstract: Abstract: FAPI PET/CT findings of renal tumors have been rarely reported. We describe 68 Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT findings in 1 case with lipid-poor renal angiomyolipoma and 1 case with high-grade clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Both tumors showed intense 68 Ga-FAPI-04 uptake. These 2 cases indicate that lipid-poor renal angiomyolipoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of FAPI-avid renal tumors.<br />Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest and sources of funding: The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest.
