• adrenogenital syndrome-associated
  4 April 2012

  Benign adrenocortical tumors may be associated with syndromes of virilization or feminization, but the presence of a pure adrenogenital syndrome, particularly feminization, should raise the possibility of malignancy.
  Some authors, in fact, consider all feminizing cortical neoplasms to be potentiallymalignant.
  Virilizing adenomas are generally larger than those found in the context of pure Cushing syndrome, and a few adenomas associated with adrenogenital syndromes have weighed up to 500g. (...)

  Digital case
  JRC:18775 : Adrenal cortical adenoma, left, with Cushing’s syndrome (F 43 y/o)
  Definition: Tumors associated with Cushing syndrome are typically unilateral and present as sharply circumscribed masses that usually weigh less than 60g and measure 3 to 4c m in average diameter.
  Tumors weighing more than 100g should be examined with particular care to rule out malignancy.
  On cross section, adenomas vary from yellow to brown, (...)

• oncocytic adrenal cortical carcinosarcoma
  1 March 2012

  Adrenal cortical carcinosarcoma is a rare variant of adrenal cortical carcinoma.
  Sarcomatous change in adrenal cortical carcinomas is exceptionally rare.
  Definition: Adrenal cortical carcinosarcoma tends to be aggressive tumors, with locoregional recurrence and rapid metastases from the sarcomatoid component.
  Variants
