We describe an adenomatoid tumor arising in the left adrenal gland of a patient who underwent bilateral adrenalectomy for the ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome. The mesothelial origin of the tumor was confirmed by electron microscopy and positive immunohistochemical staining for keratin. The tumor had a prominent cystic component raising the question whether adrenal cysts are derived from mesothelial inclusions. It is proposed that consideration be given to adding a new category of "mesothelial cysts" to the classification of adrenal gland cysts.
我们描述了一例在因异位促肾上腺皮质激素综合征接受双侧肾上腺切除术的患者左侧肾上腺中出现的腺瘤样肿瘤。通过电子显微镜检查和角蛋白免疫组化染色阳性证实了肿瘤的间皮起源。该肿瘤有一个明显的囊性成分，引发了肾上腺囊肿是否源自间皮包涵体的问题。建议在肾上腺囊肿的分类中考虑增加一类新的“间皮囊肿”。
