Abstract
This paper reports the results of 42 CT-aided fine needle biopsies of adrenal masses in 40 patients (26 were smaller than 3 cm., six smaller than 1 cm.). There were 25 adenomas, seven metastases, one primary carcinoma, one case of tuberculosis, two phaeochromocytomas and four post-inflammatory lesions. Diagnostic material was obtained in 88%. There was one incorrect diagnosis and on five occasions the result was indefinite, leading to an accuracy of 73%. Exclusion or demonstration of malignancy was, however, correct in 85%. There were no complications except for one unimportant pneumothorax.
