Abstract:
CT-guided percutaneous adrenal biopsy is commonly performed using a posterior or trans-abdominal approach. However, trans-abdominal access to the gland may not be technically feasible in some patients. In our case, CT-guided transthoracic percutaneous biopsy of the adrenal gland was performed with technical success, identifying the tumour. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no previous case describing this transpulmonary approach in the literature.
