Abstract:
Bilateral nonfunctioning-carcinoma of adrenal cortex is extremely rare and its prognosis is poor. We report a 43-year-old man hospitalized with complaints of both flank pain and generalized weakness. There were no endocrinoloeical abnormalities except for a slightly increase in serum norepinephrine. Ultrasonoeraphy. computerized tomography and MRI revealed bilateral huge adrenal masses with no metastasis evidence. Under the impression of bilateral nonfunctioning adrenocortical carcinoma. inevitable partial resection of right adrenal mass. adjuvant chemotherapy (o. p'-DDD) end radiotherapy were performed.
