    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • The adrenal gland is a frequent site for lung carcinoma metastasis.
    • Accurate staging is crucial for effective lung cancer treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a technique for transdiaphragmatic adrenal biopsy.
    • To evaluate its utility in staging lung carcinoma.

    Main Methods:

    • A transthoracic transdiaphragmatic approach for adrenal biopsy.
    • Performed in selected lung carcinoma patients with ipsilateral adrenal masses.

    Main Results:

    • The described technique allows for adrenal gland biopsy.
    • Facilitates staging in patients with lung cancer metastasis.

    Conclusions:

    • Transdiaphragmatic adrenal biopsy is a viable technique.
    • It aids in the accurate staging of lung carcinoma.
