| More Details: | Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant tumour originating from the adrenal cortex. Half of the cases are functional, with ACTH independent autonomous cortisol production being the most common. It is rare for ACC to present with markedly elevated metanephrine levels which is a typical characteristic of pheochromocytoma. We report a case of a large functioning adrenal tumour with overlapping biochemistry features of ACC and pheochromocytoma. Biopsy confirmed the histopathological diagnosis of metastatic ACC. |
