Abstract:
We report the case of a 32-year-old woman gravida 2 para 2 with pelvic pain evolving for 2 months, who underwent imaging examinations, including 18 F-FDG PET/CT and MRI, which showed a tumor-like cervix tissular mass with pathological lymph nodes and pelviperitonitis. An endocervical curettage with conization revealed a bacterial infection with cervical abscess and without neoplastic component. The follow-up 18 F-FDG PET/CT 3 months after starting antibiotherapy confirmed a complete metabolic and morphological response of the cervical abscess.
