He underwent adrenalectomy, and the adrenal tumor was diagnosed as a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma likely of lung origin based on the histopathologic and immunohistochemistry findings of cytokeratin (CK) 7 (+), CK 20 (-), thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) (+), inhibin (-), napsin A (+), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) (-), caudal type homeobox 2 (CDX-2) (-), synaptophysin (-), and p40 (-). The gene discussed is SYP; the disease is adenocarcinoma.
