Abstract: Whole-body FDG-PET has been used to screen underlying
malignancy of health people for decades. Recently, PET/CT has been advocated as a tool for improvement of diagnosis by FDG-PET. We assessed the PET/CT results of asymptomatic individuals for health screening in our PET center. The final confirmation of cancer was based on pathologic report. Here, a case of benign adrenal tumor was presented.

A 1.2 cm well-defined low-density nodule with increased FDG uptake in right adrenal gland (HUmean <5 ).
