Trails on (18)F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Leading to Diagnosis of Testicular Adrenal Rest Tumor

Testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs) are secondary to hypertrophy of adrenal rest cells in the rete testis in settings of hypersecretion of androgens. We present a case of congenital adrenal hyperplasia with TART with clues to the diagnosis on (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/...

Sumario:Testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs) are secondary to hypertrophy of adrenal rest cells in the rete testis in settings of hypersecretion of androgens. We present a case of congenital adrenal hyperplasia with TART with clues to the diagnosis on (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ((18)F-FDG PET/CT). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case on the role of (18)F-FDG PET/CT in TART.
