Primary nonfunctioning carcinoma of adrenal cortex. 1979

J M Smith, and F B Keane, and J D O'Flynn, and P G Collins

Two cases of nonfunctioning adrenocortical carcinomas are presented. The clinical features, operative findings, and histopathologic appearances are discussed. It is believed that these tumors are difficult to diagnose because of their vague presentation. Intravenous urography with nephrotomography is the most valuable method of detecting these tumors, and surgery remains the best treatment.
