Adrenal metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration of the right adrenal gland.

چکیده
Recent studies have shown that the adrenal gland is the fourth most common site of HCC extrahepatic metastasis; despite this, the incidence of right adrenal metastasis of HCC is unclear. EUS-guided FNA of the right adrenal gland is technically possible and safe, and should be considered in cases of right adrenal tumors with no diagnostic criteria by imaging test.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) cytology of adrenal masses helps in etiological diagnosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic yield of EUS-FNA of adrenal masses in cases where other imaging methods failed and/or were not feasible. METHODS Twenty-one consecutive patients with adrenal masses, in whom adrenal FNA was performed becau...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) of the right adrenal gland.
There are few reported series of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of the right adrenal gland, probably because sampling of this gland at EUS is technically more difficult, given its retrocaval location and long endoscope position [1–4]. Here, we describe two successful cases of EUS-FNA of the right adrenal gland without any immediate or delayed complications. Prior ...

EUS confirmed the presence of enlarged regional lymph nodes [Figure 5] and also revealed a hypoechoic heterogeneous nodule in the left adrenal gland with hyperechoic central area, measuring about 12 mm × 13 mm and with well‐defined limits. EUS‐guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of the left adrenal gland was performed [Figure 6] with a 22-gauge EchoTip® Needle (Cook Medical Inc., Limerick, ...

Although endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-guided FNA) of the left adrenal gland is safe and accurate compared to the percutaneous approach, there are no reports to our knowledge about EUS-guided FNA of the right adrenal gland performed in Lebanon and the Middle East. We report the case of a 64-year-old male who presented with a swollen right calf and right flank pain and...
