[Cortico-suprarenal carcinoma]

The authors show the case of a 69 years old male with a large corticosuprarenalian tumor that was detected on an random abdominal echographic examination. The patient was operated in the General Surgery Department. of Prof. Agrippa Ionescu Hospital, Bucharest. We performed ablation of the large left suprarenalian gland malign tumor with left nephrectomy, splenectomy and partial pancreatectomy. The hystopathological examination reveals a diffuse corticosuprenalian carcinoma. The case is interesting because of low incidence of this kind of malign tumor and also of the unusual tumor evolution in a long time up to its large size (12 cm in diameter).
