Hypersecretor oncocytic tumor of adrenal cortex

Abstract

Introduction: Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare entity with an annual incidence of 1-2 cases per million people. Oncocytic neoplasms that arise in the adrenal glands are extremely rare, and are usually discovered as non- functional and mostly benign tumors. Objective: to describe the clinical- epidemiological characteristics of adrenal cortex secretor tumor. Methodology: we made a review of the bibliography on the subject and presented the results. Results: Since the first description confirmed by electron microscopy in 1986, approximately 147 cases have been reported in the literature, most often described as incidental findings. The case is presented of a woman with adrenal cortex secretor tumor successfully treated, with disappearance of the initial clinic and who remains with excellent quality of life. Conclusions: it is a rare entity whose management is mainly based on surgery.
