IIIB (T3N1M0) adenocarcinoma of the colon (Figure 1), while resection of the adrenal mass disclosed a stage III (T3N0M0) adrenal carcinoma with Weiss score of 4, a mitotic rate of 10 per 50 high power fields (HPF), atypical mitoses, and capsular invasion (Figures 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c)). Immunohistochemical analysis of the biopsy specimens revealed a positive staining for synaptofphysin (Figure 3(a)) and Ki-67 mitotic index (15%:Figure 3(b)).
