===Adenoma versus carcinoma=== | |||
The most common adrenal tumors are adrenocortical adenomas and carcinomas. These are most commonly distinguished by the Weiss system,<ref name="WangSun2014">{{cite journal|last1=Wang|first1=Cuiping|last2=Sun|first2=Yang|last3=Wu|first3=Huanwen|last4=Zhao|first4=Dachun|last5=Chen|first5=Jie|title=Distinguishing adrenal cortical carcinomas and adenomas: a study of clinicopathological features and biomarkers|journal=Histopathology|volume=64|issue=4|year=2014|pages=567–576|issn=03090167|doi=10.1111/his.12283}}</ref> as follows:<ref name="AyeMyint2015">{{cite journal|last1=Aye|first1=Than Than|last2=Myint|first2=Phone|last3=Myint|first3=Kyar Nyo Soe|title=Adrenocortical Oncocytoma Presenting with Gynaecomastia|journal=Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies|volume=30|issue=1|year=2015|pages=27–30|issn=08571074|doi=10.15605/jafes.030.01.08}}</ref> | |||
