Adrenal tumors are increasingly detected by widespread use of anatomical imaging such as a, MRI, etc. For these adrenal tumors, differentiation between malignancy and benignancy is very important. In diagnostic assessment of adrenal tumor, $^{18}F-FDG$ PET and PET-CT have been reported to have high diagnostic performance, especially, very excellent performance in evaluation of adrenal metastasis in the oncologic patient. In cases of adrenal incidentalomas, $^{18}F-FDG$ PET or PET-CT is helpful if a or chemical-shift MRI is inconclusive. $^{18}F-FDG$ PET and PET-CT may be applied to the patients with MIBG-negative pheochromocytomas. In summary, $^{18}F-FDG$ PET and PET-CT are expected to be effective diagnostic tools in the management of adrenal tumor.
