Abstract

IntroductionAdrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy with an estimated incidence of 1-2 per million people. It may recur, after complete surgical removal by local or distant metastasis.ObservationWe report a case of late metastatic ACC presented as a mesenteric mass, 10 years post left adrenalectomy. Our case was initially misdiagnosed radiologically as gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST), and then the decision for exploration was made. The mass could be safely excised and confirmed pathologically to be an adrenocortical tumour.
