A 24-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of hypertension and headache. Endocrinological findings revealed no abnormalities except for a slight decrease in serum adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), a slight increase in urine 17-ketosteroid (17-KS), and a marked increase in serum
Surgical resection remains the standard treatment for adrenocortical carcinoma. Higher rates of local and peritoneal recurrence have been reported with the laparoscopic approach compared to open resection, although the evidence is limited. A dilemma occurs when tumors appear benign in Over the course of a few years, an obese 52-year-old woman with a 23-year history of hypertension developed a number of abdominal complaints including gall stones. Her blood pressure became increasingly difficult to control and she developed diabetes mellitus and suffered palpitations and headaches.
BACKGROUND
Adrenal tumors are relatively uncommon, and have different presentations, so we decided to evaluate the clinico-pathological characteristics of benign and malignant tumors in a ten-year period.
METHODS
This cross sectional-analytical study was conducted on adrenal resection samples taken
Malignancy must be considered in the management of adrenal lesions, including those incidentally identified on imaging studies. Adrenocortical carcinomas (ACCs) are rare tumors with an estimated annual incidence of 0.7-2 cases per year and a worldwide prevalence of 4-12 cases per million/year.
