Adrenal cortical carcinomas are rare, highly malignant tumors that account for only 0.2% of deaths due to cancer. Their incidence has been estimated at two per million people annually. About half of these tumors produce hormonal and metabolic syndromes that lead to their discovery. The other half are silent and are discovered with metastasis or when the primary tumor becomes large enough to produce abdominal symptoms.
