Abstract

 Introduction: Suprarenal gland is a bipartite endocrine gland which is divided into adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla. Histopathological spectrum of adrenal lesions consist of adrenal cysts, adrenal myelolipoma, adrenal cortical adenoma, adrenal cortical carcinoma and pheochromocytoma. Aims and objectives: To study the histopathological spectrum of adrenal lesions diagnosed at Narayana Medical College & Hospital, Nellore for over a period of two years. Materials and methods: All the adrenal gland specimens submitted to the Department of Pathology, Narayana Medical College and Hospital, Nellore, from January 2016 to December 2017 were included in the study. Adrenalectomy specimens were fixed in 10% formalin, subjected to routine processing, embedding, cutting and then stained with Haemotoxylin and Eosin staining technique. Results: A total of 18 cases were noticed in the present retrospective study. Most of the tumors were noted in the age group of 21-40 years with female predominance. Most common adrenal lesion noted in our study was pheochromocytoma (55.55%). Conclusion: We diagnosed a total of 18 cases of adrenal lesions including adrenal cysts, adrenal cortical tumors and adrenal medulla tumors. Most of the adrenal tumors were noted in the age group of 21-40 years with female predominance. Most common adrenal lesions noted was pheochromocytoma.
