Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and highly aggressive malignant neoplasm which can produce intravascular extension into the inferior vena cava (IVC) and can rarely extend into the right atrium. We describe the 18 F Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography findings of a 57-year-old man diagnosed with ACC with IVC thrombus extending up to the right atrium.
