Metastatic adrenal lesions in cancer patients.

Abstract

Relevance.The col lective concept of" incidence " of the adrenal glands includes a group of neoplasms of more than 1 cm in diameter, accidentally revealed by radiation methods of research. With the development of methods of instrumental diagnostics, the number of adrenal glands detected by the incident is steadily increasing, including in patients with a history of malignant neoplasm (ZNO). Objective.Study of the frequency of occurrence metastaties  of adrenal tumors in cancer patients. Materials and methods. Made 137 fine-needle aspiration biopsies (TAB) of adrenal tumors in the patients in whom during follow-up were detected adrenal incidence. Results. According to the results of morphological verification in 44(32%) cases of adrenal tumors were metastatic. Conclusion. Adrenal tumors, detected in patients with malignant neoplasms of different localization, can be provided as metastatic and benign tumors. However, each revealed a tumor in the adrenal glands of patients undergoing treatment after testing shall be considered as potentially metastatic.
