Inguinal herniation of a bladder diverticulum on PET/CT and associated complications.

Inguinal herniation of the urinary bladder is not routinely seen in clinical practice. Most patients are asymptomatic and are diagnosed incidentally on diagnostic imaging or during the course of surgical repairs. Bladder herniation has previously been reported on ultrasonography and computed tomography, but not on positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. We report an interesting case of bladder herniation and describe the findings observed by PET as well as the complications associated with this abnormality.
