Abstract
Adrenocortical carcinomas are very rare but highly aggressive tumors, accounting for 0.05 to 0.2% of all malignancies (1-2 cases per million population).Adrenocortical carcinomas have a bimodal age distribution, a small peak in first two decades and a larger one in fifth decade. While facing adrenocortical carcinomas, main 3 issues are: (i) To differentiate adrenocortical primaries from metastases and other primary tumors of adrenal, (ii)To distinguish adenoma from carcinoma and (iii)To predict clinical behavior.
