Abstract
18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) combined with computed tomography (CT) has become the standard for staging, restaging and response assessment of various malignancies. However, in infectious and inflammatory conditions, nonspecific FDG uptake may occur and mimic a tumor. Here, we present a case of gossypiboma in the abdominal region in which FDG uptake was detected in a patient who was operated for gynecological malignancy.
