Abstract

18F-FDG PET/CT was done, and the maximum intensity projection image demonstrated intense FDG uptake in infrahepatic region (image a, arrow). It highlights ability of 18F-FDG PET/CT to detect inflammatory pathologies and reinstates necessity of histopathological evaluation to decide appropriate management strategy.
