natural history of adrenal lesions depends on the understanding of the
main biological features, which have different application criteria in
both cortical and medullary proliferation. Those vital elements
represent the cornerstone for proper pathologic diagnosis. They include:
Adrenal cortical lesions: - Malignancy criteria - Contributions of gene
expression - Cellular heterogeneity - Cell segregation and vascular
supply - Morphology and function
Adrenal medullary lesions: - Pheochromocytomas in familial syndromes -
Precursor lesions: Criteria, clonality, and kinetic - Malignancy and
topographic heterogeneity
