Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 58007
  • Image ID: 35513867
  • Image stack position: 54/227
  • Plane projection: Axial PET-CT
  • Study description: Post-operative PET-CT scan a few months later
  • Study findings: Post-operative PET-CT scan shows high uptake posterior to the cecum, suspicious for residual tumor and/or peritoneal carcinomatosis.
  • Modality: Nuclear medicine
  • System: Gastrointestinal
  • Findings: Retroperitoneal abscess seen to arise from the tip of the appendix. This was initially read as complicated appendicitis. However, notice how there is an expansive tissue-density rounded lesion in the appendiceal tip. This should raise suspicion of an underlying tumor. Also, note how little fat stranding there is surrounding the tip of the appendix. This is also quite unusual if considering typical acute appendicitis.
