Interesting case of the week 8/27/2021: Adrenal Metastasis

This week, I saw a patient with cancer that had spread to the adrenal gland. This is called adrenal metastasis and occurs most commonly with breast, lung, kidney, colon, rectal, and stomach cancers as well as malignant melanoma. Adrenal surgery is used to treat and sometimes cure cancer which has spread to the adrenal gland. This is advanced surgery and should only be performed by the most experienced adrenal surgeons. You also need your surgeons to be experienced to scrutinize your scans (CT, MRI, PET, etc). Prior to seeing me, this patient had undergone significant treatment for his kidney cancer. They had already removed his right kidney which contained the original cancer and he was told they removed the left adrenal gland because the cancer had spread. His cancer had come back in his right adrenal gland and required surgery. He was now facing a dilemma and was told by his doctors that he could have the right adrenal gland removed but would need to take medication for the rest of his life. When I looked at his scan, I determined his left adrenal gland wasn't actually removed during the original surgery. Watch the video to learn more!
