We found the heterogeneity of T cells in different adrenal tumor subtypes, that is, compared with CD4 T cells in adrenocortical adenomas, the pheochromocytoma types were mostly manifested by activated CD8+, especially in the anatomic specimens from the ectopic ACTH&CRH secreting pheochromocytoma. Here, POMC is linked to adrenal cortex adenoma.
