A 72-year-old female patient, investigations revealed increased endometrial thickness, pathologically proved endometrioid endometrial carcinoma, referred for initial staging A Axial contrast-enhanced CT. B Axial PET slice at the same level. C Corresponding axial fused PET/CT image, showing metabolically active omental cake seen as a soft tissue mass underneath anterior abdominal wall (blue arrow), eliciting high focal FDG uptake pattern of SUV max =  ~ 11. D Axial contrast-enhanced CT. E Axial PET slice at the same level. F Corresponding axial fused PET/CT image, showing intense endometrial uptake, is seen within the uterus eliciting SUV max =  ~ 11. G Mid-sagittal PET image showing increased activity underneath the anterior abdominal wall due to omental uptake in addition to increased activity at the uterus (seen above the urinary bladder) (red arrows)
