Abstract
Somatostatin receptors subtypes (SSTR 1-5) were demonstrated in surgically obtained adrenal gland tumors by means of immunohistochemistry (IHC). Results of the present study demonstrate that somatostatin receptors are expressed in adrenal tumors in a varied manner which is specific in each case. It provides different diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities.
