PURPOSE: To assess the value of F-FDG PET-computed tomography (CT) and I-norcholesterol scintigraphy in noninvasive characterization of high-risk adrenal lesions using surgical pathology as the gold standard.
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed clinical cases referred to the adrenal multidisciplinary team in a tertiary centre over the last 6 years. Inclusion criteria were the presence of indeterminate adrenal lesions and performance of combined imaging with 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18] fluoro- D-glucose Positron emission tomography/ computed tomography and I-norcholesterol scans. The accuracy of CT, PET-CT and I-norcholesterol findings was assessed by comparison with the postoperative histopathological outcome.
RESULTS: Sixteen patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Ten underwent unilateral adrenalectomy, and six had clinical follow-up. The number of cases categorized as concerning on the basis of unenhanced CT, F-FDG PET-CT and I-norcholesterol was 11, 9 and 2, respectively. The mean diameter of adrenal lesions was 4.5 ± 1.9 cm. Average SUVmax of the FDG-avid adrenal lesions was 5.0 ± 2.0 (range 3.5-9.7). Fourteen adrenal masses showed I-norcholesterol uptake. All adrenal masses turned out to be benign lesions.
CONCLUSION: Conventional CT and FDG PET parameters are not adequately specific for determination of a benign lesion in this selected cohort of high-risk patients. Use of I-norcholesterol in this patient cohort may provide additional value.
