  • FIGURE 1.
    FIGURE 1.

    18F-FDG PET maximum-intensity projection (MIP image) demonstrating FDG avid bilateral lung nodules (blue arrow), mediastinal lymph nodes (red arrow), and soft-tissue nodules in bilateral inguinal canal (green arrow).

  • FIGURE 2.
    FIGURE 2.

    18F-FDG PET transaxial image (A), fused PET/CT transaxial image (B), and fused PET/CT coronal image (D) demonstrate focal to linear moderately intense FDG avid soft tissue (white arrow) in bilateral inguinal canal. Noncontrast CT transaxial image (C) shows nodular soft-tissue density in bilateral inguinal canal with surrounding mild fat stranding. In context of prior history of bilateral inguinal hernia repair, findings are most consistent with presence of ‘plugoma.’
