Abstract
- UNLABELLED Adrenocortical oncocytoma is extremely rarely found. Only a little more than thirty cases of adrenal oncocytoma, mainly nonfunctioning and benign, have been reported in the literature.

Main complaints: weight loss, general asthenia and abdominal pain. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION elevated blood pressure (180/120 mmHg), no features typical of Cushing's syndrome. Abnormal laboratory findings: oral glucose tolerance test revealed diabetes, elevated serum dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (1101.9 microg/dl; normal, 59-452), elevated serum cortisol following overnight 1 mg dexamethasone test (5.1 microg/dl; normal
