CXC chemokine receptor type 4 as a G-protein-coupled receptor has been confirmed to be highly expressed in functional adrenocortical adenomas. 68Ga-pentixafor, a CXC chemokine receptor type 4-specific ligand, has been reported as a promising tracer to evaluate functional nature of adrenal adenomas. We report intense 68Ga-pentixafor activity of cortisol-producing adrenal adenomas in 2 patients with adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent Cushing syndrome.
