Abstract

A 74-year-old man underwent low anterior resection for rectal cancer. Technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (MDP) bone scanning was performed as part of the patient's postoperative follow-up study. Scans revealed an area of increased tracer uptake in the left hemipelvis. Coronal single-photon emission computed tomography and caudal images clearly separated the lesion from the skeletal structures. Transverse magnetic resonance images showed a large diverticulum originating from the left lateral wall of the bladder. The pelvic findings on the bone scan were the result of tracer retained within this diverticulum.
