Abstract:
Nonfunctioning carcinoma of adrenal cortex is a rare disease and approximately 120 patients with nonfunctional adrenal cortical carcinoma have been reported in the world literature since first description of Rolienston and Marks in 1898. We report a case of nonfunctioning adrenal cortical carcinoma in a 47-year-old female patient, which was suspected by clinical investigation and confirmed by exploration and microscopic examination.
