Abstract:
Nonfunctioning carcinoma of the adrenal cortex is an extremely rare disease. Lewinsky and his associates could review only a total of 178 cases, collected from the literature up to the year 1974, including their 20 additional new cases. We report on a 55-year-old woman with nonfunctioning adrenocortical carcinoma metastasized to the lung.
