-The sections show a lesion in the medulla of the adrenal gland that is arranged in nests (Zellballen).  The tumour cells have abundant grey/blue granular cytoplasm, and nuclei with granular chromatin (salt and pepper chromatin). The lesion is surrounded by a compressed rim of adrenal cortex and fibrosis tissue.  The core of the lesion is fibrotic and has clusters of hemosiderin-laden macrophages.
