Abdominal Vasculitis Determined by Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography

Aim: The retrospective evaluation of abdominal vasculitis detected by FDG PET/CT examinations. Materials and Methods: Seven patients (3 Female, 4 Male, 26-72 years old) were subjects of this study. The images of the patients as well as clinic and pathologic features were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The determination of the abdominal vasculitis is possible as a primary diagnosis or incidentally during an investigation of a known another disease (malignancy). Conclusion: This case series demonstrates the significance of this clinical entity as well as the associated malignancy with this disease by FDG PET/CT.
