Figure 3 A 40-year-old asymptomatic man who had esophageal cancer resection 30 mo ago underwent PET/CT as part of routine post-operative surveillance. The first PET/CT revealed hypermetabolic activity at the anastomosis (arrows, A, B) 5 mo after treatment. The second PET/CT showed hypermetabolic activity at the anastomosis (arrows, C, D) 30 mo after treatment. The final diagnosis by endoscopic biopsy was anastomotic inflammation.
