  • Title: [Feminizing adrenal cortex carcinoma in a 66-year-old man].
    Author: Wirth T, Maurer R, Kappeler H, Krampf H.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1977 Mar 26; 107(12):411-7. PubMed ID: 847444.
    Abstract:
    Feminizing tumors of the adrenal cortex in man are very rare. The case is reported of a 66-year-old man who had a carcinoma of the right adrenal cortex which produced various steroid fractions. In the primary tumor and in the second reccurrence the estrogens were dominant. In electron microscopy the tumor cells are poorly differentiated. They may be attributed to the fasciculo-reticular layer and show no signs specific for their secretory activity. The patient died 2 1/2 years after onset of the disease. The case is discussed in the light of the pertinent literature.
