“…However, the usual single imaging used in these cases did not lead to a definitive diagnosis of a fistula. In another case report of a vesicovaginal fistula detected by dynamic 18 F-FDG-PET/CT, no gynecological tumors were found in the patient [6]. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case in which a vesico-vaginal fistula was identified by sequentially examining the uptake through the vaginal tumorvesical fistula on dynamic 18 F-FDG-PET/CT in a patient with vaginal cancer.…”

Preoperative fistulas are rare in patients with bladder mucosa-invading gynecological tumors. This is the first reported case of a vesico-vaginal fistula identified using 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-d-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG-PET/CT) in a patient with vaginal cancer. A 61-year-old woman with vaginal cancer underwent F-FDG-PET/CT for assessment of the mass and lymph nodes. Assessment was difficult because overlap of FDG uptake occurred onF-FDG-PET/CT images obtained 60min after FDG injection. However, dynamic F-FDG-PET/CT clearly indicated the presence of a vaginal tumor-vesical fistula. This case illustrates the usefulness of dynamicF-FDG-PET/CT imaging when assessing a vesico-vaginal fistula.

About one-third of patients with Crohn disease develop intraabdominal fistulas, and of these, cholecystocolic fistulas are among the rarest. F-18 FDG PET/CT can detect a vast variety of fistulas, although most are discovered incidentally. We present a very unusual case of a 79-year-old woman referred for an F-18 FDG PET/CT for evaluation of a solitary pulmonary nodule. A colon mass was detected incidentally that appeared to directly invade the gallbladder; however, histologic evaluation after surgery revealed a colon adenocarcinoma, with an adjacent cholecystocolic fistula arising from a transmural fissure ulcer in a nonneoplastic colon segment consistent with clinically silent Crohn disease.
