| Popis: | Interest in the study of adrenocortical carcinoma has greatly increased in the last 12 years. In the last decade, more medical articles about this subject have been published than in the last 50 years1. Adrenal carcinoma is a rare and aggressive neoplasia and the affected patients have less than a 50% chance of survival in five years. In the metastatic disease, the survival rate is less than 15%2. It has an incidence of 0.7 to 0.2 per 1 million people each year with bimodal distribution and it is predominant in females2. The incidence is shown to be higher in children from the South of Brazil due to environmental and genetic factors3 , 4. It represents 3-6% of all carcinomas3. The purpose of this report is to relate a patient with morbid obesity that underwent bariatric surgery and after that developed the Cushing's syndrome caused by an adrenocortical carcinoma. |
