“…As the two components of the adrenal gland have different embryological origins, it is not surprising that mixed corticomedullary tumors are rare. A total of twenty eight patients with adrenal mixed corticomedullary tumors have been described [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. Of these, only three had malignant mixed corticomedullary tumors [ 16 , 23 , 24 ] and one [ 16 ] among those succumbed rapidly to their disease.…”

“…Thus, noradrenergic tumors often continuously release norepinephrine while adrenergic (epinephrine predominant) tumors more often release epinephrine in paroxysms. Clinical presentations of mixed corticomedullary tumors have varied from subclinical to florid Cushing’s syndrome [ 3 , 9 , 13 , 17 , 19 , 20 , 22 ], hypertension [ 2 , 3 , 9 , 10 , 13 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 23 , 24 , 26 ] and diabetes [ 2 , 3 , 13 , 21 ] to psychic irritability [ 3 , 19 ] and weight loss [ 2 , 3 , 23 ]. There is clearly a female preponderance, as is illustrated in Table 1 .…”

Adrenal mixed corticomedullary tumors (MCMTs) are composed of an admixture of cortical and medullary cells. Owing to the presence of two distinct components of different embryonic lineage, these tumors are extremely rare. Less than 30 tumors of this type have been reported to date. MCMTs have varied presentation including hypertension, Cushing syndrome or even as adrenal incidentalomas. Also noted is a slightly higher female preponderance. We report a case of a 26-year-old female who was evaluated for uncontrolled hypertension. A renal ultrasound followed by MRI abdomen revealed a 9.3 × 8.1 × 7.0 cm partially cystic, partially solid enhancing mass in the region of/replacing the left adrenal gland. Hormonal work-up was significant for elevated catecholamines concerning pheochromocytoma. She underwent laparoscopic left adrenalectomy, with adequate pre-operative adrenergic blockade. Histology and immunochemical testing were consistent with a mixed corticomedullary tumor. She was monitored annually for recurrence of the tumor. We also performed a comprehensive review of literature of the cases published so far to the best of our knowledge.
