18F-FDG PET/CT in the post-operative monitoring of patients with adrenocortical carcinoma.

Context: The role of (18)F-labeled 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in the post-operative monitoring of patients with adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is still unclear.

Objective: To assess the accuracy of FDG PET/CT to diagnose ACC recurrence in a real world setting.

Design And Methods: Retrospective evaluation of data of 57 patients with presumed ACC recurrence at CT scan who underwent FDG PET/CT within a median time of 20 days.
