Diaphragmatic hernias are characterized by defects in the diaphragm that allow herniation of abdominal contents into the thorax. Herniation through the retrosternal foramen of Morgagni is rare, with less than 300 adult cases reported in the literature. This is a case of a 90-year-old woman who was diagnosed with herniation of the liver through the foramen of Morgagni on F-18 FDG PET/CT scan, which was done for the evaluation of a lung mass. Herniation of liver through the foramen of Morgagni is a potential pitfall in oncologic F-18 FDG PET/CT imaging, as it may mimic any FDG-avid anterior mediastinal mass, benign or malignant, especially in the presence of significant respiratory artifacts that commonly degrade image quality at the lung bases.

Herniation pits are small subcortical osseous defects located typically at the proximal anterosuperior quadrant of the femoral neck that are most frequently seen in the young, athletic adult population. We report a case with herniation pit showing focal 18F-FDG uptake on PET/CT images mimicking osseous metastasis in a 69-year-old patient with lung cancer.

Development of oedema and hypoproteinaemia in a liver transplant recipient may be the first signs of graft dysfunction and should prompt a full assessment. We report the novel case of a patient who, years after liver transplantation developed a functional blind loop in an incisional hernia, which manifested as oedema and hypoproteinaemia secondary to protein losing enteropathy. After numerous investigations, the diagnosis was made by flurodeoxyglucose positron emmision tomography (FDG-PET) imaging. Surgical repair of the incisional hernia was followed several months later by resolution of the protein loss, and confirmed at a post operative FDG-PET scan at one year.

The presence of primary or metastatic cancer within a hernial sac is uncommon. Based on the anatomical relation of the tumor to the sac, malignant tumors within hernia sac are classified into 3 groups; intrasaccular, saccular, and extrasaccular. We present F-FDG PET/CT images of 2 cases of hernia sac metastasis, one from non-small cell lung cancer and another from infiltrating ductal breast carcinoma. F-FDG PET/CT was useful in these cases for detection of the metastatic lesion within hernial sac and thus in assessment of total disease burden.

An 82-year-old woman was submitted to (18)F-FDG PET/CT to evaluate an indeterminate solitary lung nodule identified on chest CT. At the examination, there was a hypermetabolic area at the topography of the right retrocrural region, mimicking a lymphadenopathy on axial images. After careful analysis of multiplanar CT images, it was better characterized as a loop of the ureter insinuating itself by a small diaphragmatic hernia. Ureteral hernia is a rare entity with few cases reported in the literature. This case demonstrates the importance of conducting careful evaluation of multiplanar CT images to avoid false-positive results on PET/CT.

An 84-year-old man with history of left forehead melanoma was found on a restaging F-FDG PET/CT scan with hypermetabolic lung nodules and a mildly FDG-avid soft tissue nodule posterior to the umbilicus. Biopsy of a right lower lobe nodule revealed metastatic melanoma. Follow-up posttreatment PET/CT scan showed complete resolution of lung nodules and unchanged FDG uptake at the level of the umbilicus. Review of the patient's medical history revealed a remote history of umbilical hernia repair. We present a case of postsurgical plugoma mimicking the appearance of melanoma metastasis on FDG PET/CT.

Metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma in an inguinal hernia is a rare disease and the image findings of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) are little known. Here, we introduce a 57-year-old man with metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma in an inguinal hernia. On initial (18)F-FDG PET/CT, hypermetabolism was observed in mucinous adenocarcinoma of the cecum, and adenocarcinomas of the transverse and ascending colon, respectively. Follow-up (18)F-FDG PET/CT revealed newly developed multiple hypermetabolism in peritoneal seeding masses and nodules in the pelvic cavity and scrotum. Peritoneal carcinomatosis in the right pelvic side wall was extended to the incarcerated peritoneum and mesentery in the right inguinoscrotal hernia.(18)F-FDG PET/CT was useful to reveal unexpected peritoneal seeding within the inguinal hernia. Also, this case demonstrated that metastatic mucinous adenocarcinomas had variably intense FDG uptake.

Carcinoma of the sigmoid colon presenting in an inguinoscrotal hernia is uncommon. Many of the cases seen in literature were diagnosed only intraoperatively, as most of them had misleading presentations. We report a case of carcinoma of the sigmoid colon in an incarcerated inguinoscrotal hernia with imaging findings of 18F-FDG PET/CT along with a brief review of the literature.
