Abstract
Adrenal cortical carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor, comprising only 0.02 to 0.04% of all cancers [Nader et al, Cancer 52: 707-11, 1983; Didolkar et al, Cancer 47: 2153-61, 1981; Hajjar et al, Cancer 35: 549-54, 1975]. The mean age of presentation for females is 36.6 years and for males, 48 years. In general, women have a higher percentage of functioning adrenal tumors. Functional tumors are hormonally active with excess steroid production in serum and urine with associated clinical signs and symptoms.
