We present the case of an 81-year-old male with a history of surgically resected colorectal and bladder cancer, who was admitted to our hospital with a urinary infection. A routine renal ultrasound showed a pelvic cyst and a CT scan confirmed a non-complicated cyst, but a lesion was observed in the left lung. He underwent a PET-CT in which an unexpected enhancement of the small bowel attracted our attention.
