Abstract
- Oncocytic adrenocortical carcinoma is rare. To our knowledge, only 6 cases have been previously reported. We describe an additional case of oncocytic adrenocortical carcinoma. A 54-year-old man presented with a right subcostal mass. Computed tomography demonstrated a massive tumor in the right abdomen. Because renal or adrenal cancer was suspected, right adrenalectomy and nephrectomy were performed. Histologic examination revealed an oncocytic adrenocortical carcinoma. Five months postoperatively, multiple metastases had developed and were treated with surgical resection, chemotherapy, vascular embolization, and radiotherapy. At last follow-up, the patient was alive with pulmonary and adrenal metastases and undergoing treatment with mitotane.
