= 42; 90%). Only in one paper, the scan was made before and after therapy. The selected clinical cases were relative to the initial staging of disease, the restaging, and the evaluation of response to therapy. PET/CT and PET/MR always showed a high FDG uptake in the primary adrenal lesions and in metastatic sites. Moreover, PET metrics, such as maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and metabolic tumor volume (MTV), were elevated in all primary adrenal lesions. In conclusions, FDG PET either coupled with CT or MRI can be useful in staging, restaging, and for the evaluation of treatment response in patients affected by PAL.
