Adrenal gland cancer. Coronal computed tomography (CT) scan through the abdomen of a 28-year-old woman with a cancer of the adrenal gland known as a pheochromocytoma. The cancer is seen as the enlarged mass at upper left, on the patient's right kidney. Cancer cells divide in an uncontrolled fashion and migrate to invade other tissues. Treatment is with surgery if the cancer is still localised, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy if it has spread.
