Combined whole‐body F‐18‐fluoro‐2‐deoxyglucose positron emission tomography / computed tomography ([18F]FDG‐PET/CT) gives precise information about tumour morphology and metabolism. The standardized uptake value (SUV) allows quantification of tumour metabolism. The diagnostic value of PET/CT in patients with suspected orbital adnexal lymphoma (OAL) was evaluated.
