Abstract

Lung cancer is generally diagnosed through traditional bronchoscopy by pulmonologists, whereas data on the application of transesophageal endoscopic ultrasound‑guided fine‑needle aspiration (EUS‑FNA) for lung cancer diagnosis in China are very rarely reported. We herein describe a case of a 62‑year‑old woman who presented with non‑productive cough and was found to have a pulmonary mass in the upper lobe of the right lung. The results of positron emission tomography revealed an elevated level of 18F‑fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation (maximum standardized uptake value of 13.6) in the left adrenal gland. Thus, EUS‑FNA was performed to identify the suspected metastasis to the left adrenal gland, and the histopathological examination of the bioptic specimen demonstrated an adenocarcinoma, confirming the value of EUS‑FNA as a first‑line minimally invasive approach for diagnosis and staging in patients with lung cancer.
