Computed tomography of adrenocortical carcinoma containing macroscopic fat
The presence of macroscopic fat in an adrenal mass has classically been associated with myelolipoma. Adrenocortical carcinoma is typically an aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. The presence of macroscopic fat is not a characteristic finding in adreocortical carcinoma or other adrenal malig...

description | The presence of macroscopic fat in an adrenal mass has classically been associated with myelolipoma. Adrenocortical carcinoma is typically an aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. The presence of macroscopic fat is not a characteristic finding in adreocortical carcinoma or other adrenal malignancies. We report a case of a newly discovered large adrenal mass containing multiple areas of macroscopic fat, which was pathologically proven to represent an adrenocortical carcinoma. |
