Abstract
Adrenal histoplasmosis is one of the most common adrenal granulomatous infections in endemic areas. Although CT or MRI findings of adrenal histoplasmosis have been documented, there are no reports regarding 18F-fluorodeoxyglocose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) findings. We report a case of bilateral adrenal histoplasmosis showing a significantly high uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglocose on PET study. Adrenal histoplasmosis should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses in cases of adrenal tumors with intense FDG uptake, even in non-endemic areas.
