Fine needle aspiration (FNA) of enlarged adrenal glands detected by computed tomography is a valuable method for extrathoracic staging of pulmonary carcinomas. This paper presents the case of a middle-aged man with pulmonary adenocarcinoma metastatic to the adrenal glands, the FNA sample of which closely resembled normal adrenal cortical epithelium. Through review of the case and comparison with cytologic preparations from normal adrenal glands, the aspiration cytologic features suggesting carcinoma are described.
计算机断层扫描检测到肾上腺肿大时，细针穿刺抽吸（FNA）是肺癌胸外分期的一种有价值的方法。本文介绍了一例中年男性肺腺癌转移至肾上腺的病例，其FNA样本与正常肾上腺皮质上皮非常相似。通过对该病例的回顾以及与正常肾上腺的细胞学标本进行比较，描述了提示为癌的穿刺细胞学特征。
