Adrenocortical carcinoma with endocrine syndromes.

Abstract

Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare disease. A 32 years old lady presented with complaints of hypertension, abdominal swelling, weight gain, hirsutism and bone pains. She was found to have a large adrenocortical carcinoma with associated Cushing's and virilization syndromes. Radical adrenalectomy was done with subsequent plan for Mitotane and radio frequency ablation for hepatic metastasis. However, she succumbed to respiratory failure due to ARDS, a month after operation.
