The adrenal gland is a common site of metastasis from carcinoma of the lung. In selected patients, especially those in whom the adrenal mass is on the ipsilateral side of the lung lesion, the adrenal gland can be biopsied by a transthoracic transdiaphragmatic approach. Our technique of transdiaphragmatic adrenal biopsy in the staging of carcinoma of the lung is described.
