Adrenal cortex carcinoma

MONDO:0006639

A rare, usually large (greater than 5cm), malignant epithelial tumor arising from the adrenal cortical cells. Symptoms are usually related to the excessive production of hormones, and include Cushing's syndrome and virilism in women. Common sites of metastasis include liver, lung, bone, and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Advanced radiologic procedures have enabled the detection of small tumors, resulting in the improvement of the 5-year survival.

Also known as: adrenal cortex cancer, adrenal cortical tumors, adrenal cortical tumours, adrenocortical cancer, cancer of the adrenal cortex, malignant adrenocortical tumor, malignant adrenocortical tumour, malignant neoplasm of adrenal cortex
