CYTOLOGY OF ADRENAL LESIONS
Journal Title: Era's Journal of Medical Research - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Cystic and solid lesions in the adrenal glands commonly present as mass lesions and have varied etiology as infectious diseases, benign eysts, adrenal neoplastic lesions and metastasis. Smaller sized and nonfunctional small adrenal lesions, incidentaloma,are being picked up with the advancement in the radiological diagnostic modalities and widespread use of CT scans and USG. Main use of the FNA of adrenal lesions is to ascertain origin and character of cystic and solid adrenal masses, distinguishing benign adrenal nodules from metastatic tumors and diagnosis of infectious diseases commonly presenting as adrenal insufficiency (disseminated histoplasmosis). Radiological guided FNAC of adrenal gland provides an easy and quick method for the diagnosis of these lesions.
