目的　初步探討生長激素釋放激素受體（GHRHR）在腎上腺腫瘤組織中的表達及其在臨床中的實際應用價值。方法　應用免疫組織化學方法檢測2001年1月－2009年10月間187例腎上腺腫瘤和20例正常腎上腺組織標本中GHRHR的表達。結果　腎上腺皮質腫瘤與腎上腺髓質腫瘤、正常腎上腺組織比較，GHRHR表達明顯增高（陽性率分別為99%、45%、55%），GHRHR在腎上腺皮質醇瘤和醛固酮瘤中表達的差異有統計學意義，在腎上腺皮質腺瘤、皮質腺癌、皮質增生中表達的差異有統計學意義。結論　GHRHR在人正常腎上腺及腎上腺腫瘤組織中的表達，為在垂體外組織及人類腫瘤組織存在GHRHR的表達提供了直接證據；GHRHR可能會用于腎上腺皮質腫瘤和髓質腫瘤的鑒別診斷，但GHRHR尚不能用于良性和惡性腎上腺皮質腫瘤的鑒別診斷。GHRHR在腎上腺皮質相關腫瘤的高表達，可能與腎上腺皮質腫瘤的發病機制有關。
