A previously healthy 49-year-old male presented with abdominal pain, constitutional syndrome, paroxysmal palpitations and diaphoresis. Full-body CT scan showed a large malignant adrenal mass with abdominal lymph node and pulmonary metastasis. Biochemical studies revealed hypersecretion of catecholamines, cortisol, sexual steroids and steroid precursors; ACTH was not suppressed, and chromogranin A was negative.

Synchronous tumors comprising of cortical as well as medullary differentiation are rare in the adrenal gland. Collision tumors comprise of two independent neoplasms arising from the cortex and the medulla without any histological admixture. Adrenal cortico-medullary mixed tumors are rare tumors comprising of adrenal cortical and chromaffin cells intermixed with each other.

Background/objective: Adrenal corticomedullary mixed tumor (CMMT) are extremely rare single adrenal tumor masses containing a mixture of adrenal cortical adenoma and pheochromocytoma cells.
Case Report: A 52-year-old woman presented with clinical and biochemical evidence of cortisol and catecholamine excess and was found to have an adrenal CMMT with intermixed chromaffin, cortical adenoma, and ganglioneuroma components. She underwent a successful unilateral adrenalectomy with subsequent improvement in her symptoms.
