Abdominal-wall metastasis following laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer is rare. We describe FDG PET/MRI findings in a case of isolated abdominal incisional site metastasis after laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer. The abdominal-wall metastasis showed slight hyperintensity on T2-weighted fat-suppressed image and intense focal FDG uptake on PET. This case demonstrates the usefulness of FDG PET/MRI in detecting the atypical metastasis from colon cancer.
