Overview

The incidence of adrenocortical carcinoma is believed to be 0.72 per million cases per year leading to 0.2% of all cancer deaths in the United States and 0.2 to 0.3 per million children per year worldwide but valid data is lacking. A bimodal distribution is observed, the first one in pediatrics and the second one in the fifth to the sixth decade with a predilection for the female gender.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of adrenocortical carcinoma is 7.2 cases per per 100,000 individuals per year leading to 0.2% of all cancer deaths in the United States and 3 cases per 100,000 children per year worldwide but valid data is lacking.[1]

Age

  • A bimodal distribution was observed, the first one in pediatrics and the second one in the fifth to the sixth decade.[2]

Gender

  • There is a predilection for the female gender.[3]
  • Girls are also more commonly affected than boys with a ratio of 1.6:1.[4]
