A diverticulum is an outpouching of a hollow (or fluid-filled) structure in the body. They are most commonly seen in the urinary bladder, intestine, and pharyngeal region and are rarely seen in renal calyces. They are usually benign, asymptomatic, and are coincidentally detected. Due to their nonspecific clinical and radiological picture, sometimes they mimic malignant tumors, leading to misdiagnosis and treatment. We are presenting a case of 60-year-old female with right breast carcinoma, on whole body 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography; we observed an interesting finding in the right renal region mimicking renal metastasis.
憩室是体内中空（或充满液体）结构的向外突出。它们最常见于膀胱、肠道和咽部区域，很少见于肾盏。它们通常是良性的、无症状的，多为偶然发现。由于其临床和影像学表现不具特异性，有时会酷似恶性肿瘤，导致误诊和不恰当治疗。我们报告一例60岁患有右乳腺癌的女性患者，在全身18氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描 - 计算机断层扫描检查中，我们在右肾区观察到一个类似肾转移的有趣发现。
