18F-FDG PET/CT Imaging of Adrenal Liposarcoma

Clin Nucl Med. 2020 Jul;45(7):570-571. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000003096.

Abstract

Liposarcoma is a common soft tissue sarcoma in retroperitoneum, but adrenal liposarcoma is rare. We here described a 61-year-old man with left-upper-quadrant pain, hypertension, and weight loss. Abdominal CT showed a large, heterogeneously enhanced mass on the left adrenal area, which compressed the surrounding pancreas, spleen, and left kidney. Subsequent FDG PET/CT demonstrated heterogeneous uptake by the lesion. Postoperative pathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of adrenal liposarcoma.
