Indian J Urol. 2007 Jan;23(1):77-8. doi: 10.4103/0970-1591.30275.

Abstract

Adrenal oncocytoma is a rare entity, with 20 cases reported in literature. A functional oncocytoma is extremely rare. We present a case of adrenal oncocytoma in a hypertensive male who had elevated catecholamine levels, which improved after adrenalectomy with decrease in daily antihypertensive requirement.

Keywords: Adrenal oncocytoma; adrenalectomy; catecholamines; immunostaining.
