Abstract

Endogenous Clostridium septicum endophthalmitis is a rare and fulminant ocular infection, usually encountered in immunocompromised or diabetic patients. It is also highly associated with both gastrointestinal and hematologic malignancies. We describe herein the detection of an adenocarcinoma of the cecum on PET/CT with F-FDG in a patient with an active endogenous C. septicum endophthalmitis of the right eye. FDG PET/CT should be considered for all patients with endogenous endophthalmitis to exclude an occult malignancy, especially colorectal cancer.
