Adrenal cortical carcinomas (ACC) are rare and have a bimodal age distribution with peak incidence in the first year and fourth decade of life. On CT, adrenal carcinomas appear as heterogenous masses. Half are calcified. Sometimes ACC’s can be confused with renal cell carcinomas. 95% of ACC’s are functioning tumors. Most cause virilization. Many cause […]
