title: [Surgical treatment of isolated adrenal metastasis from lung carcinoma].
abstract: A surgical treatment of patients with lung cancer non-microcitoma and isolated adrenal metastasis has been reported in literature although limited in number and follow up. The Authors report 12 cases of patients operated for lung cancers non-microcitoma and isolated adrenal metastasis. One patients was lost in the follow up, two patients died 3 and 6 months after the adrenalectomy. The other patients are alive after 88, 39, 36, 17, 13 months after the adrenalectomy. Four of these patients are also disease free. Other 4 patients, more recently operated, are alive and disease free after 3, 3, 9 and 9 months after the adrenalectomy. The Authors believe that a surgical treatment is justified in these patients, considering the results of the series reported in literature and also their own results.
