Inguinal Herniation of Urinary Bladder on F-18 Sodium Fluoride (NaF) PET-CT

Abstract

Inguinal herniation of urinary bladder is uncommon and usually an incidental finding in asymptomatic patients. In some of these patients, residual urine volume and consequently, urinary tracer activity can be higher in the herniated bladder than the native bladder, in which case interpretation can be challenging on conventional planar imaging. We describe an interesting case of physiological activity in a herniated bladder simulating a "tear-drop". This case serves an important reminder that whilst F-18 NaF PET-CT has a similar spectrum of urinary activity to conventional bone scintigraphy; morphological correlation on hybrid imaging is invaluable in ensuring the physiological nature of uptake.
