18F-fluorocholine uptake in a case of adrenal incidentaloma: possible diagnostic pitfall or potential tool for adrenocortical tumors characterization?
[adrenal incidentaloma]
The
understanding
of
radiotracer
's
physiological
biodistribution
as
well
as
the
potential
source
of
false-
positive
results
is
crucial
for
an
accurate
diagnostic
interpretation
of
(
18
)
F-
fluorocholine
PET
/
CT
examination
in
patients
with
prostate
cancer
.
We
illustrate
the
results
of
whole-body
(
18
)
F-
fluorocholine
PET
/
CT
in
a
79
-
year
-old
man
with
biochemical
suspicion
of
prostate
adenocarcinoma
relapse
.
PET
/
CT
study
showed
a
focally
increased
(
18
)
F-
fluorocholine
uptake
,
characterizing
an
incidentally
found
adrenocortical
adenoma
.
Finally
,
we
draw
oncologists
'
attention
to
the
possible
false-
positive
results
of
(
18
)
F-
fluorocholine
PET
related
to
benign
and
unsuspected
adrenocortical
lesions
in
patients
with
a
history
of
prostate
malignancy
.
