Abstract
Axillary lymph node metastasis in colon cancer is extremely rare. We describe the FDG PET/CT findings in a 61-year-old woman who presented with a mass in the right axilla, which revealed irregular thickening of the ascending colon wall, as well as multiple enlarged lymph nodes in the ileocecal mesentery, para-aortic region, and right axilla with higher uptake of FDG. Ascending colon carcinoma with lymph node metastasis in the right axilla was confirmed by pathological examination.
