title: [Aspiration puncture biopsy in the preoperative diagnosis of adrenal tumors].
abstract: The results of fine-needle aspiration puncture (AP) and cytologic examination in the preoperative period in 4 patients with various lesions of the adrenals are discussed. AP was conducted under local anesthesia and control by ultrasonic examination; no complications occurred. Analysis of the cytologic findings allowed preoperative morphological verification of the process, as a result of which the initial clinical diagnosis was changed in 2 of the 4 cases. With an exactly established preoperative cytologic diagnosis a rational therapeutic tactics can be chosen, and the necessity of using complicated examination methods, diagnostic laparotomy among others, obviated.
