Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare malignancy.
  • Carcinosarcoma is an extremely rare variant of adrenocortical carcinoma.
  • Characterized by a biphasic pattern of carcinoma and sarcoma-like components.

Observation:

  • A case of adrenal carcinosarcoma in a 61-year-old Korean man is presented.
  • The patient presented with right flank pain.
  • The tumor measured 12 x 12 x 7 cm and adhered to adjacent organs.

Findings:

  • The carcinomatous component showed polygonal cells in a trabecular pattern.
  • The sarcomatous component displayed uniform spindled cells in a fascicular pattern.
  • Both components were positive for pan-cytokeratin; vimentin stained only sarcomatous areas.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to the understanding of adrenal carcinosarcoma.
  • Highlights the diagnostic challenges and histological features of this rare tumor.
  • Emphasizes the importance of immunohistochemistry in differentiating tumor components.
