Abstract
A 35-year-old woman underwent 18 F-FDG PET/CT 2 months after a radical hysterectomy for uterine cervical cancer. An apparent FDG uptake was observed in an oval-shaped mass with an attached surgical clip in the right paracolic gutter. A similar non-FDG-avid mass with a clip was observed in the left. In this case, ovarian transposition had also been performed with metallic clips placed on both sides of the paracolic gutters. The increased FDG uptake in the right paracolic gutter was interpreted as physiological uptake in the right transposed ovary, not metastasis. Recognizing the possibility of FDG uptake in transposed ovaries is important.
