An 85-year-old man with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after prostatectomy was imaged with F-fluciclovine PET/CT. Images incidentally revealed F-fluciclovine uptake in a dilated appendix with associated fat stranding, suggestive of acute appendicitis. The patient was then questioned about abdominal symptoms, and he reported severe right lower quadrant pain. He then underwent laparoscopic appendectomy with pathology confirming acute appendicitis.
