Figure 1. Adrenal Imaging and Histologic Features in Three Patients with Aldosterone-Producing Adenomas.

Figure 1

The images in Panel A show the adenomas in the three patients (arrows). Histologic examination of the adenomas after adrenalectomy (Panel B, hematoxylin and eosin) shows spironolactone bodies (red arrows), which are characteristic of zona glomerulosa–like aldosterone-producing adenomas. No spironolactone bodies were observed in the adenoma in Patient 2, but it nevertheless resembled a zona glomerulosa–like aldosterone-producing adenoma. Scale bars denote 50 μm.
