Key result
18F-FDG PET/CT imaging demonstrated heterogeneous uptake in a large left adrenal mass, which was postoperatively confirmed as a rare adrenal liposarcoma in a 61-year-old man.
Case Report (n=1)
18F-FDG PET/CT can demonstrate heterogeneous uptake in rare cases of adrenal liposarcoma, aiding in its evaluation.
Heterogeneous FDG uptake may occur in adrenal liposarcoma; single case leaves open its diagnostic specificity versus other adrenal masses.
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.

Wang et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Adrenal liposarcoma (n=1). 18F-FDG PET/CT Imaging was evaluated on Diagnosis of adrenal liposarcoma. 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging demonstrated heterogeneous uptake in a large left adrenal mass, which was postoperatively confirmed as a rare adrenal liposarcoma in a 61-year-old man.
