Surgical removal is the only effective treatment for adrenal cortical carcinoma. Early diagnosis is challenging, particularly for non-functional tumors, necessitating advanced imaging and hormone level analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology

Context:

  • Adrenal cortical carcinoma is a rare malignancy with diverse clinical presentations.
  • Distinguishing between functional and non-functional tumors is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Purpose:

  • To review the diagnosis and treatment strategies for adrenal cortical carcinoma.
  • To analyze clinical features, diagnostic methods, and treatment outcomes in a cohort of patients.

Summary:

  • Fifteen cases of adrenal cortical carcinoma (8 functional, 7 non-functional) treated surgically between 1978-1998 were analyzed.
  • Functional tumors presented with specific hormonal syndromes (Cushing's, aldosteronism, adrenogenital), while non-functional tumors caused abdominal pain and hypertension.
  • Diagnosis relies on hormone assays (17-ketosteroid, 17-hydrosteroid, cortisol, aldosterone) and imaging (CT, B-ultrasonography).

Impact:

  • Surgical resection remains the primary curative treatment for adrenal cortical carcinoma.
  • Highlights the diagnostic difficulties, especially for non-functional variants, emphasizing the need for early detection through comprehensive evaluation.
