In this paper, we obtain Liouville type theorems both in the whole space and exterior domain in viscosity sense for fully nonlinear elliptic inequality involving nonlocal Pucci's operator. The nonlocal property of the operator, we only have a much weaker comparison principle, compared with the inequality with classical Pucci's operators, which give rise to the difficulties for the Hadamard type property in exterior domain.

Keywords: Fully nonlinear equation, nonlocal operator, Liouville theorem.
