Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare endocrine malignancy.
  • Large tumor size can indicate advanced disease or unusual growth patterns.

Observation:

  • A 69-year-old male presented with a large, incidentally discovered left adrenal tumor (12 cm).
  • The patient underwent extensive surgical resection including nephrectomy, splenectomy, and partial pancreatectomy.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed diffuse adrenocortical carcinoma.
  • The tumor's large size and slow evolution over time were notable.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of thorough histopathological evaluation for adrenal masses.
