This classification is arranged in two parts in order to take into account the different origins, structures, and functions of the cortex and medulla. The tabular classification is a simplified version of that suggested for adrenal tumours in man, and includes cortical adenoma and carcinoma, phaeochromocytoma, chemodectoma, neurofibroma, ganglioneuroma and ganglioneuroblastoma, and neuroblastoma. A detailed functional classification is not given, since the hormonal activity of many adrenal tumours in animals is less well known than it is in man. Of the tumour-like lesions listed, cortical hyperplasia is particularly important in several species.
这种分类分为两部分，以便考虑皮质和髓质的不同起源、结构和功能。表格分类是针对人类肾上腺肿瘤建议分类的简化版本，包括皮质腺瘤和癌、嗜铬细胞瘤、化学感受器瘤、神经纤维瘤、神经节神经瘤和神经节成神经细胞瘤以及成神经细胞瘤。未给出详细的功能分类，因为与人类相比，动物中许多肾上腺肿瘤的激素活性了解较少。在所列出的肿瘤样病变中，皮质增生在几个物种中尤为重要。
