ABSTRACT
In a 55-year-old woman with sigmoid colon cancer, a subcutaneous mass in the left lower abdomen was incidentally found and gradually enlarged. For further diagnosis and staging, an 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan was performed, which revealed a subcutaneous mass in the left lower abdomen with mild uptake of 18F-FDG, suggesting the possibility of metastasis. However, post-surgery and pathological confirmation, this mass was diagnosed as a drain-site hernia containing fallopian tube fimbria, which is extremely rare but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous mass in the lower abdomen.
