The importance of CT-guided adrenal biopsy in an oncological patient: a case report

Abstract

Image-guided percutaneous biopsy is a common and safe interventional radiology procedure with the purpose of tissue sampling for patohistological evaluation. It is usually performed under ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) guidance for easily reachable, as well as difficult to reach, tumors in order to avoid surgical open biopsy.
