Abstract
ABSTRACT: 18 F-FDG PET/CT was performed to evaluate the response to treatment in a 62-year-old female patient who was operated for adrenocortical carcinoma. High FDG uptake was observed in recurrent lesion in the left adrenal gland site and metastatic lesions. In the 68 Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT study, low FAPI uptake was observed in both recurrences and metastases. In this case, we demonstrated the superiority of 18 F-FDG PET/CT over 68 Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT in the evaluation of adrenocortical carcinoma.
