A 61-year-old man with previous history of lung adenocarcinoma underwent 2 F-FDG PET/CT investigations. The first for assessment of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes revealed an area of increased FDG uptake in the sigmoid colon (located at the right pelvis). Colonoscopy showed a segmental area of ischemic sigmoid colitis, confirmed on histology postbiopsy. The asymptomatic man had no risk factors, and no specific treatment was administered, apart from supportive measures. One year later, there was no significantly abnormal uptake on PET/CT. Incidental ischemic colitis may be demonstrated with FDG and PET/CT needing no specific therapeutic measures for resolution.

Background And Aim: We conducted a retrospective study to identify incidence rates and potential risk factors of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in Japanese patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), as existing data are scarce, inconsistent, and provide limited representation of the real-world situation of MACE in Japan.
Methods: We utilized administrative claims data, collected between January 2013 and December 2022, from Medical Data Vision, Japan. Patients (aged ≥ 20 years) diagnosed with UC within ± 1 month of the prescription date during the study period were included in the incident cohort.
