Oncocytic adrenocortical carcinoma
Annals of Diagnostic Pathology, 2010Only 17 cases of oncocytic adrenocortical carcinoma have been reported in the English literature. Here, we report an incidental case of oncocytic adrenocortical carcinoma. The patient was a 69-year-old man with the chief complaint of abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a left adrenal tumor. No hormonal symptoms were observed.

Large Adrenocortical Carcinoma
Journal of the National Medical Association, 2009Adrenal cortical carcinomas (ACCs) are rare, highly malignant tumors that carry a poor prognosis. The large size and possibility of adherence to adjacent structures can make these tumors difficult to excise. We present a patient who underwent successful resection of a massive 19-cm, nonfunctional ACC, which encased the right kidney.

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2015
Recent developments in the treatment of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) include diagnostic and prognostic risk stratification algorithms, increasing evidence of the impact of historical therapies on overall survival, and emerging targets from integrated epigenomic and genomic analyses.

Management of adrenocortical carcinoma
Clinical Endocrinology, 2003SummaryAdrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare neoplasm with poor prognosis. Patients present with signs of steroid hormone excess (e.g. Cushing's syndrome, virilization) or an abdominal mass. Tumour size at presentation (mean diameter at diagnosis > 10 cm) is the most important indicator of malignancy.

Adrenocortical Carcinoma in Children
Urologic Clinics of North America, 1989Adrenocortical carcinoma in childhood is a rare, potentially fatal disease. Despite its often-dramatic presentation, there typically has been a distressingly long delay between the onset of symptoms and the time of diagnosis, which undoubtedly has contributed to the poor prognosis in these children by permitting the disease to reach an advanced stage ...

Management of Adrenocortical Carcinoma
Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, 2009Adrenocortical carcinomas (ACCs) are rare tumors that arise from the cortex of the adrenal gland with an incidence 1 to 2 per million. The rarity of this tumor translates into a paucity of experience in managing patients in most medical centers. Because clinical series are small and prospective evaluation of treatment strategies is limited, the current

Treatment of Adrenocortical Carcinoma
Surgical Pathology Clinics, 2019Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis. ACC is capable of secreting excess adrenocortical hormones, which can compound morbidity and compromise clinical outcomes. By the time most ACCs are diagnosed, there is usually locoregional or metastatic disease.

Does Adrenocortical Hyperplasia Result in Adrenocortical Carcinoma?
New England Journal of Medicine, 1957ONLY 72 cases of masculinizing tumors of the adrenal cortex were reported in a recent twenty-year survey.1 In the case reported below, symptoms of masculinization were present for thirty years before the removal of an adrenocortical carcinoma. There was responsiveness both to stimulation by ACTH and to inhibition by adrenal corticoids.

Update on Adrenocortical Carcinoma
Urologic Clinics of North AmericaAdrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is an uncommon and highly aggressive form of cancer that originates from the adrenal glands. It displays a dual age distribution pattern, with a higher occurrence during early childhood around the average age of 3.2 years, and a second peak in the fourth and fifth decades of adulthood.
