AbstractA 55-year-old man visited our hospital with left chest and back pain. Computed tomography (CT) showed left retroperitoneal tumor, which was 6 cm in diameter with intratumoral hemorrhage. Based on abdominal CT, magnetic resonance imaging and blood tests, preoperative diagnosis was adrenocortical carcinoma. En bloc resection of the tumor and the left kidney was performed. The histological diagnosis was adrenocortical carcinoma. He rejected adjuvant therapy with mitotane. Bone and liver metastases were recognized 2 months after operation. The patient died three months after operation because of disease progression.
