It is most often performed by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) under the control of computed tomography (CT) or ultrasound (US). The study code PG044 is critically important for the differential diagnosis of neoplasms, especially in patients with a history of cancer.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\"><b data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Research objective:<\/b> The main task is morphological verification of the nature of the detected formation. Since the adrenal glands are a frequent site of metastasis of tumors of other localizations (lungs, breast, kidneys), biopsy allows to distinguish metastasis from the primary tumor of the gland or benign adenoma.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\"><b data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">What does the pathologist evaluate:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"4\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Fabric type:<\/b> determining whether the cells originate from the adrenal cortex or medulla.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Signs of malignancy:<\/b> Evaluation of cells for atypia, which is characteristic of adrenocortical cancer.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Metastasis verification:<\/b> comparison of cell structure with the primary cancer focus in other organs using immunohistochemical markers (if necessary).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Hormonal activity (indirectly):<\/b> identification of structural features characteristic of pheochromocytoma (brain tumor).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Inflammatory and infectious processes:<\/b> exclusion of adrenal tuberculosis or specific fungal lesions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\"><b data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Clinical significance:<\/b> The conclusion of the pathologist under the code PG044 determines the treatment strategy: from dynamic observation of a benign adenoma (&quot;incidentaloma&quot;) to immediate surgical intervention or the appointment of chemotherapy.
