Core Tip	Positron emission tomography with fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG-PET) is gradually gaining acceptance as a first line radiological modality for both solid and hematological malignancies. While both technology and expertise is improving, incidental findings are more frequently encountered. The gastrointestinal tract is a common source for these unexpected findings. In this manuscript we assessed the significance of these findings and correlated them with upper and lower endoscopy findings. Surprisingly, we encountered much clinical significant information. More so, the FDG-PET was considerably sensitive to gastrointestinal findings. These results suggest that gastrointestinal incidental findings should be evaluated.
