Abstract
The medical records of patients that were diagnosed as lung cancer and underwent L/S ADX for suspected adrenal gland metastasis were retrospectively analyzed Patient demographics prior interventions and medical treatments for lung cancer adrenal mass characteristics surgical features postoperative course and histopathological findings were examinedIn total 13 patients underwent 15 L/S ADXs due to suspected solitary adrenal metastasis of lung cancer Mean age of the patients was 605 ± 73 years Mean adrenal mass size based on CT was 35 ± 269 mm The surgical margin was tumorfree in eight of the ADXs Surgical margin positivity was observed in seven ADXs and local recurrence was observed in only two patients 285 with surgical margin positivity Mean estimated survival in the patients with metachronous adrenal metastasis was lower than in those with synchronous adrenal metastasis 331 ± 54 vs 332 ± 75 months respectively Estimated survival in the patients with NSCLC was higher than in those with SCLC 339 ± 57 vs 24 ± 42 months respectively the difference was not significant P = 0736 Estimated overall survival was 334 ± 52 months
