Incidental focal colonic uptake on 18F-FDG PET/CT studies

Conclusions Focal uptake in the colon of 18F-FDG PET/CT has clinical relevance, especially when it is associated with morphological lesions on CT. As it may be a second tumor or a pre-malignant lesion, it is recommended that all focal uptake of the colon with or without abnormal CT be evaluated with endoscopy.
