| Popis: | We report a case of adrenal neuroendocrine carcinoma that was treated with laparoscopic adrenalectomy. A 70-year-old man was referred to our department for investigation of a 5 cm right adrenal mass detected by abdominal CT. No increased endocrine activity attributable to the adrenals was observed clinically, and there was no obvious uptake in 123I-MIBG scintigraphy. An adrenalectomy was performed laparoscopically. Positive immunohistochemical results for synaptophysin, chromogranin A and CD56 were compatible with neuroendocrine carcinoma. |
