Background: While the number of adrenal biopsies has increased due to more "incidentalomas" were detected by widespread use of imaging studies, there have been very limited studies to evaluate the utility of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) in obtaining adequate core needle biopsy (CNB) tissue for diagnosis of adrenal lesions.
Methods:We retrospectively reviewed all percutaneous adrenal CNB cases with available ROSE for a 12-year period in our institute in order to assess the usefulness of ROSE in adrenal CNB sampling.Results: A total of 83 cases were identified in our database. The majority of cases (52/83, 63%) were diagnosed as metastatic malignancies with the lung being the most common primary site.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
