A 58-year-old female patient, with history of left ovarian invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma grade III, submitted for TAH BSO, presented with recently elevated CA 15.3 and CA 125 serum levels. (a) Whole body PET MIP image revealed metabolically active mediastinal lesion. CECT (b, d and f) and corresponding fused PET/CT (c, e and g) images revealed clear pelvic operative bed and no evidence of local recurrence, with hypodense FDG starved necrotic right external iliac nodal lesion, yet, with distant hypermetabolic anterior mediastinal nodal deposit (achieving 7.3 SUVmax)
