  • Title: Lung cancer metastasis to adrenocortical adenomas. A chance occurrence or a predilected phenomenon?
    Author: Moriya T, Manabe T, Yamashita K, Arita S.
    Journal: Arch Pathol Lab Med; 1988 Mar; 112(3):286-9. PubMed ID: 2830864.
    Abstract:
    To evaluate the common belief that cancer metastasis to adrenocortical adenomas is a predilected phenomenon, we compared the real incidence of cancer metastasis obtained by analyzing the autopsy results of our 160 lung cancer cases, as well as those found by reviewing the literature, with the theoretical incidence obtained through the simulation models we made. The results disclosed that statistically, the real incidence was significantly higher than the theoretical probability. Therefore, we concluded that the metastasis of lung carcinoma to adrenocortical adenomas is indeed predilected.
