  • Title: [Malignant adrenocortical tumor. A propos of a case].
    Author: Boujnah H, Ben Ayed H, Ayed M, Zmerli S.
    Journal: J Urol (Paris); 1982; 88(9):615-8. PubMed ID: 7169550.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of malignant cortico-adrenaloma in a young woman of 27. This malignant tumour represents 10% of the causes of Cushing's syndrome. It is noted for the rapid onset of the syndrome and a marked hyperandrogenism. The diagnosis depends on an I.V.P. with retropneumoperitoneum completed by arteriography and ultrasound or by more recent investigations: the isotope scan and the C.T. scan. Its prognosis is very poor and the treatment consists of an extended adrenalectomy.
