Tumours of an adrenal. Distinguish the good-quality and malignant tumours of an adrenal which are starting with cortical and cerebral substance. In a cortex of an adrenal adenomas with the raised secretion of glucocorticoids or Aldosteronum, in cerebral substance - a pheochromocytoma producing an adrenaline and Noradrenalinum are localized. Malignant tumours as well as adenomas, can be cosecreting or not cosecreting. In diagnostics of tumours of an adrenal alongside with the careful anamnesis, biochemical and endocrinologic researches the ultrasonic and computer tomography, an angiography have great value. To distinguish a good-quality tumour from malignant it is difficult even at the morphological analysis. In both variants the tumour has a capsule.

The pheochromocytoma is shown by rising of arterial pressure with serious crisises and quickly developing complications (a retinopathy, a hemorrhage in a brain, etc.). A level of an adrenaline, Noradrenalinum in a blood and their metabolites in urine high. The pheochromocytoma develops in 10-15 % of cases from both parties.
