Adrenal Lesion Core Biopsy: A New Approach and an Incidental Benefit

Abstract

A number of vulnerable anatomical structures were adjacent to the lesion, so an innovative positioning technique was used to maximize access to the lesion and minimize risk to the adjacent structures. The head down position used in this case resulted in the liver and portal vein moving superiorly, significantly reducing the likelihood of injury. This case study briefly discusses the pathologies and diagnoses of adrenal lesions and explains the value of the unique approach used.
