We report a case of a healthy 78 -year- old indonesian man
who presented with chronic weight loss, poor appetite and
lethargy. CT abdomen showed bilateral adrenal masses.
EUS – guided FNA was performed on the left adrenal gland.
Histopathology report was Histoplasma Capsulatum. He
recovered well with antifungal treatment without any
complication. In this case, we found that the role of EUS –
guided FNA was not only limited to diagnosis but also
helped in the prognosis of the disease since the method
was able to assess the general anatomy of the adrenal gland
better than other imaging modalities due to its close
proximity and direct visualization.

This document offers guidance to help the ophthalmologist plan for the safe resumption of elective surgical care.
There are 4 sections: (I) COVID-19 Awareness, (II) Preparedness, (III) Patient Issues, and (IV) Delivery of Safe
and High-Quality Care. Each section contains key issues to be addressed before elective surgery may be safely
reinstituted.
Understanding the capabilities of health facilities (e.g., testing, operating rooms) as well as the potential limitations
in manpower and supplies will remain important, while keeping an eye out on subsequent waves of COVID-19.

With the resumption of elective surgeries during this COVID-19 pandemic, surgeons and facilities should implement
infection prevention and control measures to ensure the safety of patients and health care workers. This advisory
highlights the key principles, risk stratification considerations, and recommended approach regarding Covid-19
testing prior to elective ophthalmic surgeries.
