摘要：

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 F-18-fluorodeoxyglocose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) findings. We report a case of bilateral adrenal histoplasmosis showing a significantly high uptake of F-18-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.
