[Nonsecreting or so-called malignant adrenocortical tumors. Contribution of immunohistochemistry]

The authors mention two cases of adreno cortical carcinoma treated by surgery. They insist upon complete hormonal exploration in order to assert the characteristic non functioning of these growths. An immuno histo clinical examination of the operated part could complement these biological explorations. The existence of a hormonal secretion brought to light by this method can simplify future biological supervision and establish a reason to apply systematically a complementary treatment of OP'DDD or Ketoconazole. A literary precis is prepared.
