Abstract

Adrenocortical cancer (ACС) is a rare malignant endocrine neoplasm from adrenocortical cells. Despite the orphan character of the disease, the increase of incidentalomas in modern clinical practice requires endocrinologist's awareness of the principles of diagnostics and tactics of patient management. This disease is characterized by highly variable biological behavior. This peculiarity of ACC necessitates a personalized approach for each clinical case, which should be ensured not only by interdisciplinary interaction between oncologists, surgeons and endocrinologists, but also by analysis of the pathomorphological features of each tumor. The present article highlights the current views on the morphological diagnosis of ACC, obtained as a result of research in the last decade, which should be taken into account by the endocrinologist.
