Abstract:
A 10-year follow-up case of aldosterone and cortisol-secreting adrenocortical carcinoma, a rare disease presenting as an adrenal space-occupying lesion accompanied with hypertension and hypokalemia was reported, and the medical record was investigated in detail. Through case presentation and literature review, it was noted that patients with adrenocortical carcinoma presented a difference in clinical manifestations, pathology, and biological behaviors. This paper may help clinicians enhance their understanding of adrenocortical carcinoma. Especially significant adrenal space-occupying lesions highly suspicious of recurrence and producing different types of endocrine hormones should be paid more attention.
