Adenoma versus carcinoma
The most common adrenal tumors are adrenocortical adenomas and carcinomas. These are most commonly distinguished by the Weiss system,[2] as follows:[3]
| Characteristic[3] | Score |
|---|---|
| High nuclear grade (enlarged, oval to lobated, with coarsely granular to hyperchromatic chromatin and easily discernible, prominent nucleoli)[4] | 1 |
| More mitoses than 5/50 high power fields | 1 |
| Atypical mitoses | 1 |
| Eosinophilic cytoplasm in >75% of tumor cells | 1 |
| Diffuse architecture of >33% of tumor | 1 |
| Necrosis | 1 |
| Venous invasion | 1 |
| Sinusoidal invasion (no smooth muscle in wall) | 1 |
| Capsular invasion | 1 |
Total score indicates:[3]
- 0-2: Adrenocortical adenoma
- 3: Undetermined
- 4-9: Adrenocortical carcinoma

Other adrenal tumors
-
Pheochromocytoma, with typical features shown.
Reporting
For cancers, generally include a synoptic report, such as per College of American Pathologists (CAP) protocols at cap.org/protocols-and-guidelines.
