In patients with a diagnosis of complete remission after treatment for serous ovarian cancer, even a multifocal recurrence may occur during follow up despite normal serum CA125 levels. Our results showed a usefulness of the PET/CT in detecting and differentiating malignant from benign lesions in patients with normal serum CA125 levels but inconclusive results in other imaging tests. We observed false results of the PET/CT for lesions in parotid gland, mesorectal adipose tissue and mediastinal lymph nodes.
