Core Tip	This is a retrospective study to assess the rate and aetiologies of incidental anal 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) uptake and to evaluate the correlation between 18FDG positron-emission tomography/computed tomography parameters and the diagnosis of an anorectal disease. Incidental anal 18FDG uptake is rare, but a reliable anorectal diagnosis is commonly obtained when an anorectal examination is performed. The diagnosis of an anorectal disease induces treatment in more than one-third of the patients. These data should encourage practitioners to explore incidental anal 18FDG uptake systematically.
