Abstract:
Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare disease. A 32 years old lady presented with complaints of hypertension, abdominal swelling, weight gain, hirsutism and bone pains. She was found to have a large adrenocortical carcinoma with associated Cushing`s and virilization syndromes. Radical adrenalectomy was done with subsequent plan for Mitotane and radio frequency ablation for hepatic metastasis. However, she succumbed to respiratory failure due to ARDS, a month after operation.
