Abstract In this paper, we prove the symmetry and monotonicity results of viscosity solutions for fully nonlinear elliptic equations F ( D 2 u , D u , u , x ) = 0 and fully nonlinear parabolic equations − u t + F ( D 2 u , D u , u , x , t ) = 0 in annular domains by using the method of moving planes. We also prove the symmetry and monotonicity results of viscosity solutions for fully nonlinear parabolic equations − u t + F ( D 2 u , D u , u , t ) = 0 in exterior domains. This extends the results of fully nonlinear elliptic equations in exterior domains.
