A 48-year old woman with stage T1b1 cervical cancer that was misinterpreted as stage T2b on MRI. Axial T2-weighted image shows the cervical cancer with some irregularity of the stromal rim (a, white arrows) interpreted as parametrial invasion by MRI. PET/MRI shows the tumor confined to the cervix with no FDG uptake in areas of stromal irregularities (b). The patient underwent surgical staging including parametrial biopsies and sentinel node dissection with ultrastaging, followed by curative chemoradiation (patient no. 15 on Table 2)
