Adrenocortical carcinoma is an extremely uncommon tumor of the adrenal gland, and it is even more uncommon when it manifests without any symptoms. If patients exhibit signs of rapid and multiple adrenocortical hormone excess, such as weakness, hypokalaemia, or hypertension, ACC may be suspected. Recently developed gynecomastia in men may be brought on by an ACC producing too much sex hormone. To accurately diagnose the condition and give the patient a fair prognosis, a multidisciplinary approach involving endocrine surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and internists is advised. Proper genetic counseling is recommended. It is critical to know whether the adrenal mass is malignant or not, and to get this ascertained by a computed tomography finding and biopsy.
