In pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma, nontumorous high 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose accumulations are observed in both beige and brown adipose tissues. Recognizing this feature of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation can help physicians make precise diagnoses and help them avoid the pitfalls of a false-positive 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography result, preventing unnecessary interventions.
