Özet

A 64-year-old man with a locally advanced rectum adenocarcinoma was referred for 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) imaging for the purpose of restaging and tumor response. Circumferentially increased perirectal F-18 FDG uptake was seen. Three days after the first F-18 FDG positron emission tomography clinically Fournier gangrene was diagnosed and surgical debridement was performed. Increased perirectal uptake was attributed to Fournier gangrene.
