REVISIONS ACCORDING TO REFEREE 1:
1-The non-tumor adrenocortical gland was not atrophic. I-adosterol scintigraphy was not
taken.
The
immunohistochemical
identification
of
steroidgenic
enzyme
such
as
3b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in the tumor was not possible, because the staining kit does
not exist in our hospital.
2-Immunostaining for synaptophysin, inhibin and pancytoceratin is attached. Figure legends
are described in detail.
