title: Large adrenal metastasis in non-small cell lung carcinoma. Case report and literature review.
abstract: Adrenal metastases are frequent in patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). We present a case of a large adrenal metastasis from NSCLC and we discuss the relevant literature. In such cases, early surgical intervention is recommended to avoid spontaneous rupture of the tumor and improve patient survival.
