Francesco Palmieri, Davide Gobatti, Serena Marmaggi, Francesco Calabrese, Roberto Sampietro.


Abstract
Background. The imaging of “plugoma” (or meshoma) has not been largely described in the literature and could conduct to misdiagnosis. Therefore, there is a need for surgeons and radiologists to further their knowledge about postsurgical anatomic alterations after hernia repair.
Case presentation In this paper, we describe our finding of a right inguinal mass at CT scan and 18F FDG PET/CT in differential diagnosis with metastasis, which ultimately resulted in a plugoma.
Conclusion Our imagining effort together with our considerations may help other colleague to identify this alteration, thus avoiding unnecessary treatment for patients.

Key words: hernia plugoma meshoma foreign body reaction PET captation unnecessary workup
