title: [Adrenal synchronous metastasis from non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC): combined surgical treatment? Case report and review of the literature].
abstract: The adrenal gland is a frequent site for metastases from non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Surgical strategy in patients with operable NSCLC with adrenal synchronous metastases is yet unclear. On the basis of a literature survey and of a personal case report, the authors analyze the main indications and the best strategy for solitary synchronous metastases in the adrenal gland from NSCLC.
