The left adrenal gland (LAG) is a common metastatic site in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer.In practice, staging mainly relies on radiologic studies and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA).Recently, new technique using convex probe-endobronchial ultrasound (CP-EBUS) scope through the esophagus (EUS-B) has been introduced.A complete mediastinal reach for upper-abdominal structures single session naturally attract attention.However, scientific data are not sufficient to clearly judge role of this cytological diagnosis lesions.Therefore, we present cases which our have undergone EUS-B LAG lesions increase literature regard accessibility, diagnostic performance, rate complications.
