FNA of the adrenal glands can be useful in the diagnosis and staging of metastatic neoplasms, as well as in distinguishing primary adrenal cortical from medullary neoplasms and characterizing hematolymphoid and mesenchymal neoplasms. Overall adequacy rates for adrenal cytology are high (92%) with no statistically significant difference between CT-guided (93%) and EUS-FNA adequacy (89%). The majority of our procedures confirmed metastases, sparing patients unnecessary surgery.
