Abstract

Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare entity. We report a case of a 47-year-old male with abdominal pain. without classical tumor symptoms. Computed tomography revealed a left adrenal mass measuring 17 cm. Hormonal evaluation was negative. Open left adrenalectomy was performed by sub-costal approach. Diagnosis of adrenocortical carcinoma was established by pathology. Metastatic workup was negative. The patient has been followed regularly with no recurrence for one year. Adrenocortical carcinoma is a challenge. Surgery is the main treatment.
