| Article Title: | Adrenocortical carcinoma: A case of missed diagnosis |
| Abstract: | Incidentalomas are commonly encountered adrenal lesions. However, adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) represents a rare etiology of adrenal incidentalomas (AI). The diagnosis of AI is generally based on laboratory data and imaging results, Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is not usually indicated in the workup of incidentaloma. In this report, we present a case of AI in which two FNA procedures failed to make the correct diagnosis of ACC. |
