Abstract

We report a case of leiomyoma of the rectum, which is rarely encountered. F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-18 FDG PET) is a useful modality in detecting various tumors, including rectal ones. We evaluated a patient with rectal leiomyoma, using F-18 FDG PET imaging which detected abnormally increased uptake in the pelvis. The standardized uptake value of the highest FDG uptake was 8.6. We succeeded in demonstrating tumor uptake by rectal leiomyoma, using F-18 FDG PET imaging.
