Abstract
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare disease with poor prognosis. We experienced a case of recurrent ACC with stomach metastasis which had been completely cured a long while ago. A 52-year-old man who presented with right thigh pain was hospitalized. We found a lumbar spine mass on magnetic resonance imaging scan. And this lesion was identified as metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma. The patient had been treated as stage II non-functioning ACC 19 years ago. At that time radical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy were successfully done. And the follow-up evaluation was discontinued, since it had been checked as no evidence of disease (NED) state for 5 years. But this time, there were multiple metastatic sites revealed in positron emission tomography– computed tomography scan including stomach. Therefore, we report a case of ACC herewith that it could be recurred even though long-term NED state was passed after treatment and stomach could be a metastatic site of ACC.
