Abstract
The most frequent histological type of malignancy developing from extraovarian endometriosis is clear cell adenocarcinoma, followed by endometrioid adenocarcinoma [[2], [6]]. Whole-body 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) has been demonstrated to be a sensitive and well-established imaging modality for detection, staging/re-staging, and evaluation of therapy response of solid tumors. 18F-FDG PET/MR imaging revealed a 9.4 × 4.6 × 4.8 cm solid, heterogenic mass in the abdominal wall on its exterior part, partially involving the right rectus abdominal muscle, with significantly increased FDG uptake (SUVmax = 9.61).
