- Abstract
An autopsy case of a nonfunctioning adrenal cortical carcinoma is presented and the features of 16 cases with this tumor reported between 1953 and 1977 in Japan are reviewed.This tumor predominantly afflicted males and the average age of admission was 46.5 years. A palpable mass and abdominal pain were common symptoms. The average levels of 17-KS and 17-OHCS in the urine were 8.3 mg/24 hr and 4.6 mg/24 hr, respectively. The most common sites of distant metastases were the liver and lung. It was also noted that the only available mode of treatment was surgery.
