case_images: Distribution of aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) and LHCGR in the patient's adrenal. (A), Distribution of CYP11B2 immunoreactivity in the tumor region (T) of the adrenal tissue. (B-E), Distribution of CYP11B2 (B, D) and LHCGR (C, E) immunoreactivities in consecutive sections of the APA tissue at low (B, C) and high (D, E) magnifications. Similar distribution of CYP11B2 and LHCGR immunoreactivities were observed in some areas (arrows) in (B, C). PT indicates peritumoral tissue; and V, vein.
