(18) F-FDG PET/CT Imaging of Boari Flap Mimicking Urothelial Cancer Recurrence

A 63-year-old man underwent distal ureterectomy as a treatment for urothelial carcinoma of the ureter. Reconstruction of the urinary system was accomplished by tubularizing part of the bladder roof (Boari flap). A year later, metastatic evaluation with (18) F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tom...

description A 63-year-old man underwent distal ureterectomy as a treatment for urothelial carcinoma of the ureter. Reconstruction of the urinary system was accomplished by tubularizing part of the bladder roof (Boari flap). A year later, metastatic evaluation with (18) F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( (18) F-FDG PET/CT) showed high metabolic activity in the reconstructed area. Thorough evaluation confirmed the presence of a bladder diverticulum (the Boari flap) with no evidence of malignancy. We present the first (18) F-FDG PET/CT images of a Boari flap in the literature.
