Core Tip This case illustrates a unique example of a false-positive finding on the computed tomography- positron emission tomography (CT-PET) due to a hepatic adenoma mimicking a metastatic lesion in the liver. It serves to highlight that not all CT-PET findings are associated with malignancy. In equivocal cases where CT-PET findings are discordant with other imaging modalities and/or clinical/biochemical features, further evaluation with different imaging modalities or novel PET tracers may be considered. This is especially pertinent in this day and age, where the PET scan is widely used in clinical practise to differentiate benign from malignant lesions, as well as a modality in cancer surveillance and staging.
