This study reviews percutaneous biopsy accuracy for adrenal masses and explores new noninvasive imaging methods like CT, MR, and scintigraphy for diagnosis. It provides current recommendations and future outlooks for differentiating benign from malignant adrenal tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Adrenal masses require accurate diagnosis to differentiate benign from malignant conditions.
  • Percutaneous biopsy is an invasive method with associated risks and limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the accuracy and complications of percutaneous adrenal mass biopsy.
  • To discuss advancements in noninvasive diagnostic imaging techniques for adrenal masses.
  • To provide recommendations for the evaluation of adrenal masses.

Main Methods:

  • Review of percutaneous biopsy techniques and outcomes.
  • Analysis of noninvasive imaging modalities: CT scan, MR imaging, and radio-nuclide scintigraphy.
  • Synthesis of current clinical guidelines and expert opinion.

Main Results:

  • Percutaneous biopsy carries risks and its accuracy can be variable.
  • Noninvasive imaging techniques are rapidly evolving, offering improved diagnostic capabilities.
  • Established criteria aid in differentiating benign from malignant adrenal lesions.

Conclusions:

  • Noninvasive imaging should be prioritized for adrenal mass evaluation when feasible.
  • Percutaneous biopsy remains a valuable tool in specific clinical scenarios.
  • Future approaches will likely emphasize further refinement of noninvasive diagnostic strategies.
