Case description

Find a nodule. Could this be functional? Can you tell it is functional just from the histology or would you need to measure hormone levels? What is another way you could tell it is functional without doing any special tests? (Hint: Look at the patient) Do the tumor cells look quite a bit like normal adrenocortical cells? Is it a general principle, that if 2 cells look identical they may also behave identical?
