Abstract:
Adrenal cortical carcinoma is classified clinically as functioning and nonfunctioning and the latter is though to be extremely rare and causes generally mass effect or symptoms due to metastasis because of insufficient steroid secretion. We report a case of nonfunctioning adrenal cortical carcinoma, which is thought to be heterotopic origin.
