Abstract
Peptic ulcer disease is the most common benign cause of gastric outlet obstruction, in which mechanical obstruction occurs in the distal stomach, pylorus, or duodenum. We describe a case of gastric outlet obstruction induced by duodenal ulcer showing irregular pyloric wall thickening with marked enhancement on contras-enhanced CT and increased FDG uptake of the pyloric wall on FDG PET/CT mimicking malignancy.
