title: Incidentally detected grade 3 cystocele on FDG PET/CT in a case of suspected malignancy.
abstract: Unexpected findings are seen on FDG PET/CT outside the primary site of abnormality. Such incidental findings are common in the genitourinary tract due to normal urinary excretion of FDG. We report a case of incidentally detected grade 3 cystocele in a patient who underwent FDG PET/CT study for a suspected lung malignancy.
