Abstract
 Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital condition in which the viscera are transposed as a mirror of normal arrangement. We present a 70-year-old man with Gastro-esophageal (GE) junction carcinoma who underwent FDG PET/CT for initial staging, in addition to hypermetabolic lesions in the GE junction, scan showed transposed heart, liver, spleen and stomach, suggestive of SIT.
