Percutaneous computed tomography (CT)-guided adrenal biopsy is a safe method for obtaining tissue specimen in cases where diagnosis cannot be established on imaging and biochemical grounds. The study aims to evaluate diagnostic yield, accuracy, and complications of percutaneous CT-guided adrenal biopsies. Furthermore, CT findings of various adrenal lesions have been described.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nMaterials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\nData of CT-guided adrenal biopsies performed from September 2009 to May 2019 were analyzed. Biopsies were performed on a 64-slice or a 128-slice multidetector CT scanner using a coaxial technique. Pathological and microbiological reports were retrieved from the hospital information system. Clinical details were obtained from clinical case records.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nResults:<\/jats:title>\nCT-guided adrenal biopsies were performed in 48 patients, 37 males and 11 females. Adrenal insufficiency was present in 31 (64%) cases and bilateral adrenal glands were affected in 35 (73%). Biopsy yielded a diagnosis in 35 cases (72.9%). The final diagnosis was achieved in 43 (90%) cases. Combined accuracy of CT-guided biopsy for identifying malignancy and infection was 88.3%. Adrenal histoplasmosis (AH) was the most common entity diagnosed (44%). After combining histopathology and microbiology results, the sensitivity for diagnosing AH was 100%. One (2%) patient had a major complication in the form of intra-abdominal hemorrhage requiring transfusion. Local hematoma and mild stable pneumothorax were noted in one patient each.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion:<\/jats:title>\nPercutaneous CT-guided biopsy is a safe procedure for the diagnosis of adrenal lesions. It has good accuracy for diagnosing adrenal conditions such as infections and malignancies. However, the specific diagnosis of benign adrenal lesions was difficult to make. AH, tuberculosis, and metastasis have overlapping imaging findings.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/jcis_3_2020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,6]],"date-time":"2020-04-06T05:08:59Z","timestamp":1586149739000},"page":"16","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Results
