A 65-year-old female patient with a history of ovarian cancer pathologically proven ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, referred for whole body survey A Axial contrast-enhanced CT. B Axial PET slice at the same level. C Corresponding axial fused PET/CT image, showing Intense metabolically active multiple hypodense peritoneal nodules creeping along and indenting the inferior and lateral serosal surfaces of the liver, the largest is resting upon the gall bladder fossa (yellow arrow) in addition to left hypochondrial enhancing soft tissue mass lesion showing areas of internal breaking down underneath anterior abdominal wall inseparable from bowel serosa (red arrow), both eliciting SUV max ~ 8.6 and 9.1, respectively. D Axial contrast-enhanced CT. E Axial PET slice at the same level. F Corresponding axial fused PET/CT image, showing bilateral adnexal heterogeneously enhancing large solid mass lesions with areas of breaking down, almost totally occupying the pelvic cavity with significant mass effect upon the surroundings, inseparable from the uterus, posteriorly infiltrating the recto-sigmoid colon and upper rectum and resting upon the urinary bladder, eliciting SUVmax =  ~ 10. G Coronal PET/CT image demonstrating intense FDG diffuse liver surfaces uptake in addition to the pelvic soft tissue mass lesion seen resting upon the urinary bladder
