Bilateral Aldosterone-Producing Adrenocortical Carcinoma: a Rare Entity.

Garima Daga1, Sanjay Sharma1, Varun Mittal2.   

Abstract

Adrenal cortical carcinomas (ACC) are rare aggressive malignant neoplasms with a reported incidence of 1-2 cases per 1 million population and account for 0.05-0.2 % of all malignancies. About 60 % are functional tumors and majority, 40 % present with Cushing's syndrome. Rarely, 2.5 to 11 % present with hypertension due to increased secretion of aldosterone and are usually unilateral. Bilateral aldosterone-producing adrenocortical carcinoma (APAC) has not been reported yet. We report a case of bilateral APAC in a 22-year-old male.
