Adenocarcinoma is a form of carcinoma that originates in glandular tissue. To be classified as adenocarcinoma, the cells don't necessarily need to be part of a gland, as long as they have secretory properties. This form of carcinoma can occur in some higher mammals, including humans<ref>Fauquier, D.A., Gulland, F.M.D.,(Marine Mammal Center}, Haulena, M., Spraker, T., ‘’Billary adenocarcinoma in a stranded Northern elephant seal (‘’Mirounga angustirortsis’‘)’‘, Journal of Wildlife Diseases 39(3):723-726 (2003)</ref>.

It can first present as an adenoma (a glandular tumor that is benign.)
