“…Although cytological confirmation of the recurrence of SV adenocarcinoma was obtained only in the left transverse perineal muscle lesion, we cannot exclude the tumor involvement of the posterior bladder wall. In fact, with the excretion of [ 18 F]FDG by the kidney into the urine, intense normal [ 18 F]FDG activity is observed in the intrarenal collection systems, ureters, and bladder, and the urinary excretion of [ 18 F]FDG continued in well-hydrated patients even 1 hour after [ 18 F]FDG administration [ 10 ]. Thus, [ 18 F]FDG-PET/CT may give a false negative result in the detection of the recurrence of a bladder tumor.…”

Primary seminal vesicle (SV) adenocarcinoma is a rare tumor. A small amount of data about the role of imaging to detect tumor recurrence is available. We report the case of a 58-year-old patient with primary SV clear-cell well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. Clinical and instrumental examinations were negative for the 32 months after treatments when computed tomography scan, [18F]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging showed the appearance of a lesion in the left perineal muscle suspected for recurrence. Patient was symptomless. Cytology of the suspected lesion confirmed SV adenocarcinoma recurrence. The combined approach, using radiological and nuclear medicine techniques, seems to be effective in the follow-up of SV adenocarcinoma. Technological advances, together with awareness of this rare tumor, have the potential of improving patients outcomes not only by providing earlier detection and accurate staging, but also by detecting recurrence and thereby avoiding delays and therapeutic dilemmas.

“…A wide range of pathological conditions can mimic the pattern of focally increased [ 18 F]FDG uptake. The following conditions might present with focal [ 18 F]FDG uptake: active thrombi [73], soft atherosclerotic plaques [74], vasculitis [75], primary cardiac tumours [76] and cardiac metastasis [77], postsurgical inflammation [78] and foreign body reactions (such as a reaction to BioGlue, a surgical adhesive used to repair the aortic root) [79], and stitches [80]. Recently intense [ 18 F]FDG uptake has also been found in a patient with Libman-Sacks endocarditis [81].…”

In the latest update of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for the management of infective endocarditis (IE), imaging is positioned at the centre of the diagnostic work-up so that an early and accurate diagnosis can be reached. Besides echocardiography, contrast-enhanced CT (ce-CT), radiolabelled leucocyte (white blood cell, WBC) SPECT/CT and [F]FDG PET/CT are included as diagnostic tools in the diagnostic flow chart for IE. Following the clinical guidelines that provided a straightforward message on the role of multimodality imaging, we believe that it is highly relevant to produce specific recommendations on nuclear multimodality imaging in IE and cardiac implantable electronic device infections. In these procedural recommendations we therefore describe in detail the technical and practical aspects of WBC SPECT/CT and [F]FDG PET/CT, including ce-CT acquisition protocols. We also discuss the advantages and limitations of each procedure, specific pitfalls when interpreting images, and the most important results from the literature, and also provide recommendations on the appropriate use of multimodality imaging.
