Core Tip	Studies evaluating endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of the adrenal gland generally include patients with underlying malignancy only and most lack follow-up for benign lesions. We report the clinical utility of adrenal gland EUS-FNA in a retrospective study that included 94 patients who underwent EUS-FNA of either adrenal for various indications and provide follow-up information for those with benign EUS-FNA cytology results. For the diagnosis of malignancy, EUS-FNA of either adrenal had sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 86%, 97%, 96% and 89%, without serious adverse events.
