Abstract
We report two cases of abdominal abscess displaying high uptake of [18F]fluorodeoxyglycose (FDG) by positron emission tomography (PET). Abdominal abscesses should be considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominal masses showing high FDG uptake in PET studies.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
