Özet
Internal herniation may be seen more frequently in patients with intra-abdominal surgery and malignancy history. We presented a 58-year-old male patient diagnosed with rectal adenocarcinoma seven years ago with a history of surgery and pelvic radiotherapy. When the abdominal computed tomography (CT) image was taken during routine oncology follow-up, a lesion mimicking a serosal implant on the anterior abdominal wall was detected.18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT imaging was performed the suspicion of recurrence. It was concluded that the lesion, which was evaluated as an implant in abdominal CT with18F-FDG PET/CT imaging, was a spontaneously reducing internal herniation.18F-FDG PET/CT imaging in cancer patients is crucial in illuminating the suspicion of recurrent lesions in these patients and sheds light on the course of the patients in oncology practice.
