G I Makarniaeva, and N A Shvets, and K V Poalenov

In the review are available literature data about different types of adrenal cortical carcinomas. The case described for the first time diagnosed incidentaloma in an 86-year-old man has been characterized. This observation is valuable because of the rarity of pathology and the difficulties of clinical diagnostics.

D018268	Adrenocortical Carcinoma	A malignant neoplasm of the ADRENAL CORTEX. Adrenocortical carcinomas are unencapsulated anaplastic (ANAPLASIA) masses sometimes exceeding 20 cm or 200 g. They are more likely to be functional than nonfunctional, and produce ADRENAL CORTEX HORMONES that may result in hypercortisolism (CUSHING SYNDROME); HYPERALDOSTERONISM; and/or VIRILISM.
