The most common reason for intraluminal urinary bladder hematoma is trauma. However in gynecological and pelvic malignancies, the pelvic irradiation can affect non targeted organs resulting in urogenital complications like hematoma. Small size hematoma can be easily diagnosed in ultrasound. Large hematoma can mimic as neoplastic mass in imaging modalities.We present here an intresting image of intraluminal urinary bladder mass, where FDG PET CT was helpful to diagnose it as a non neoplastic mass.
