Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Feminizing adrenocortical tumors are rare neoplasms causing hormonal imbalances.
  • These tumors can lead to significant clinical manifestations, particularly in males.

Observation:

  • Three patients (two males, one female) aged 11, 21, and 32 years underwent surgical resection for feminizing adrenocortical adenomas.
  • Tumor weights varied (70g, 250g, 31g).
  • Presenting symptoms included gynecomastia, orchiatrophy, and sexual inadequacy.

Findings:

  • All three patients experienced successful surgical removal of adrenocortical adenomas.
  • Post-operative follow-up ranging from 1 to 11 years revealed no tumor recurrence in any patient.

Implications:

  • Early surgical resection is recommended upon diagnosis of feminizing adrenocortical tumors.
  • Long-term patient follow-up is crucial after surgical intervention to monitor for recurrence.
