The aim of this study was to investigate the value of multiple parameters retrieved from the FDG PET/CT studies, including SUVmax, SUVmean, SUVpeak, MTV, TLG, tumour size in differentiating retroperitoneal paragangliomas from UCD. 28 patients with solitary retroperitoneal masses who had undergone preoperative  18 F-FDG PET/CT were retrospectively evaluated. Histopathology by surgical resection confirmed 17 paragangliomas and 11 UCDs. SUVmax, SUVmean, SUVpeak, MTV, TLG, and tumour size of  18 F-FDG PET/CT were measured for each patient. Mann–Whitney U-test was used to assess differences in multiple parameters between paragangliomas and UCDs. The ROC curve analysis was performed to determine the differential diagnostic value of these parameters. Paragangliomas presented significantly higher SUVmax ( P  < 0.001), SUVmean ( P  = 0.001), SUVpeak ( P  < 0.001), and TLG ( P  = 0.024) than UCDs, whereas no significant difference was observed in MTV. The AUCs for differentiating paragangliomas and UCDs were 0.920, 0.888, 0.909, and 0.765 for SUVmax, SUVmean, SUVpeak, and TLG, respectively. The SUVmax cut-off of 7.75 yielded 82.4% sensitivity and 100% specificity for predicting paragangliomas. This study indicated that  18 F FDG PET/CT-derived multiple metabolic parameters are useful in distinguishing between paragangliomas and UCDs. SUVmax showed the best result for the differential diagnosis of these two diseases among multiple metabolic parameters.
