Overview
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy may be helpful in the diagnosis of incidentaloma. It can distinguish between an adrenal tumor and a metastatic tumor. In a patient with a known primary malignancy, performing a diagnostic CT-guided FNA biopsy may be indicated. The FNA biopsy of a pheochromocytoma may result in hemorrhage and hypertensive crisis. So, excluding pheochromocytoma with biochemical testing is necessary before any procedure. Adrenal biopsy is generally not indicated due to its limited accuracy for differentiating between benign and malignant adrenal tumors and the risk of seeding of malignant cells.
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Fine-needle aspiration biopsy may be helpful in the diagnosis of incidentaloma. It can distinguish between an adrenal tumor and a metastatic tumor.[1]
- In a patient with a known primary malignancy, performing a diagnostic CT-guided FNA biopsy may be indicated.
- Cytology from a specimen obtained by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy can not distinguish a benign adrenal mass from the less common adrenal carcinoma.
- FNA biopsy is not useful in the routine evaluation of incidentalomas in patients suspected to have small non-adrenal cancers.[2]
- The FNA biopsy of a pheochromocytoma may result in hemorrhage and hypertensive crisis. So, excluding pheochromocytoma with biochemical testing is necessary before any procedure.[3]
- The complications of FNAC include:[4]
- Adrenal and liver hematoma
- Abdominal pain
- Hematuria
- Pancreatitis
- Pneumothorax
- Adrenal abscess
- Tumor recurrence along the needle track
- Adrenal biopsy is generally not indicated due to its limited accuracy for differentiating between benign and malignant adrenal tumors. In addition, it may result in tumor seeding in case of adrenocortical carcinoma.[5]
- A rare indication of adrenal biopsy is the strong suspicion of adrenal metastasis and biopsy confirmation would influence the management plan; in this case, lab testing to rule out a pheochromocytoma should be done first to avoid precipitation of a hyperadrenergic crisis by biopsy.
