A total of 166 patients diagnosed with HCC received <jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>F-FDG PET\/CT imaging before liver transplantation. Of these patients, 5 patients (4 males, 1 female; median age: 51.2 y, range: 33-61 y) were found to have suspected adrenal metastases and were included in this study. Two cases (Cases 1 and 5) underwent an <jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>F-FDG PET\/CT scan at the initial stage, 3 cases (Cases 2-4) underwent an <jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>F-FDG PET\/CT scan for restaging, and one case (Case 5) underwent a second <jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>F-FDG PET\/CT scan for evaluating treatment response. Among the 8 lesions, there was one false-negative metastatic lesion (Lesion 4, Case 3) and one false-positive adrenal gland lesion (Lesion 7, Case 5) when compared with either histopathologic reports or established clinical and imaging follow-up results. In general, <jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>F-FDG PET\/CT scans have limitations that make it difficult to distinguish between malignant and benign lesions in adrenal glands that are based only on quantitative values measured using the <jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>F-FDG PET\/CT scan. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7785\/tcrt.2012.500438","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,18]],"date-time":"2014-06-18T20:55:47Z","timestamp":1403124947000},"page":"593-599","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Clinical Value of <sup>18<\/sup>F-FDG PET\/CT in Detecting Adrenal Metastasis in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Yin","family":"Lin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nuclear Medicine, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan"},{"name":"Yin Lin and Wan-Yu Lin contributed equally to this work."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Long-Bin","family":"Jeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Organ Transplantation Center, China Medical University Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hsin-Yi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nuclear Medicine, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shih-Chuan","family":"Tsai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nuclear Medicine, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wan-Yu","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nuclear Medicine, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan"},{"name":"Graduate Institute of Clinical Medical Science and School of Medicine, College of Medicine, China Medical University, Taichung, Taiwan"},{"name":"Yin Lin and Wan-Yu Lin contributed equally to this work."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chia-Hung","family":"Kao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Institute of Clinical Medical Science and School of Medicine, College of Medicine, China Medical University, Taichung, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Nuclear Medicine and PET Center, China Medical University Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,1]]},"container-title":["Technology in Cancer Research &amp; Treatment"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.7785\/tcrt.2012.500438","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.7785\/tcrt.2012.500438","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,11]],"date-time":"2025-03-11T05:50:13Z","timestamp":1741672213000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.7785\/tcrt.2012.500438"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2015,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.7785\/tcrt.2012.500438"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.7785\/tcrt.2012.500438","relation":{},"ISSN":["1533-0346","1533-0338"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1533-0346","type":"print"},{"value":"1533-0338","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,1]]}}}
