Abstract
Pelvic Insufficiency Fractures (PIF) is caused by the effect of normal or physiologic stresses on bone with reduced mineral content or elastic resistance. Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/Computed Tomography (CT) is widely used in the work-up of patients with various types of cancer. In our case, a patient with colon cancer who was investigated by many forms of conventional imaging for pelvic pain. We found to have osteoporotic fractures using PET/CT.
