Adrenal cortical adenoma and adrenal medullary hyperplasia of the right adrenal gland--a case report. 1987

E Borrero, and P Katz, and S Lipper, and J B Chang

The normal adrenal gland contains two types of tissue, the adrenal cortical tissue and the adrenal medullary tissue. The cortex is divided into three portions: the outermost "zona glomerulosa," the central "zona fasciculata," and the innermost "zona recticularis." The adrenal medulla is a developmentally separate organ, derived from neuroectoderm, and is the site of epinephrine and norepinephrine production. Adrenal cortical adenoma is commonly the result of a basophilic tumor of the anterior pituitary that secretes excessive amounts of ACTH. Adrenal medullary hyperplasia (or pheochromocytoma) are clinically hazardous tumors because of their excessive secretion of catecholamines. Combined adrenal cortical adenoma and adrenal medullary hyperplasia of the right adrenal gland has never been described previously.

D000313 Adrenal Medulla The inner portion of the adrenal gland. Derived from ECTODERM, adrenal medulla consists mainly of CHROMAFFIN CELLS that produces and stores a number of NEUROTRANSMITTERS, mainly adrenaline (EPINEPHRINE) and NOREPINEPHRINE. The activity of the adrenal medulla is regulated by the SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM. Adrenal Medullas,Medulla, Adrenal,Medullas, Adrenal
