Abstract

A 59-year-old woman with recurrent cervical cancer and end-stage renal disease was referred for FDG PET/CT for restaging. The patient had hemodialysis for 4 years and radiotherapy 3 years ago and 1 year ago. The PET/CT scan showed recurrent cervical cancer and intense FDG radioactivity in the urinary bladder, with a small air bubble in both the urinary bladder and the vagina. After supine positioning without voiding, the delayed images showed more air bubbles with less FDG activity in the urinary bladder. The vesicovaginorectal fistula was confirmed by surgery.
