Description
Detection of adrenal lesions either incidentally, or in symptomatic cases and/or during staging/restaging of oncological cases, it is very crucial to know the adrenal lesion is benign or malignant. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography–computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) helps in this comprehensive evaluating process. Here, we present the most frequently facing adrenal lesions in routine oncological PET/CT scans. The aim of this presentation is to know the FDG uptake spectrum of various adrenal lesions on PET/CT scan so that increase the diagnostic accuracy and spectrum of differential diagnosis.
