Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Adrenal cortical carcinoma is a rare aggressive tumor with a poor prognosis. Associated systemic amyloidosis is a rare phenomenon with only single case reported in English literature.
Case Report: We report a case of a 50-year-old female harboring a huge adrenal cortical tumor along with systemic amyloidosis who underwent primary curative surgical resection of the tumor. Our patient had a Weiss score of 6 which is indicative of bad prognosis. Conclusion: The presence of proteinuria in patients with adrenal cortical carcinoma may be indicative of amyloidosis. Further, the high risk of metastasis in adrenal cortical cancer mandates a close clinical follow-up. | |
