POMC and adrenal cortex adenoma: Compared with adrenocortical adenomas which were in CD4+ (with the expression of cytokine receptors, such as the IL-7R) state, T cells in pheochromocytoma, especially T cells in the ectopic ACTH&CRH secreting pheochromocytoma were inactivated CD8+ state, suggesting different tumor microenvironments between adrenocortical adenomas and pheochromocytoma.
