Overview

Symptoms of adrenocortical carcinoma include symptoms of androgen, glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid, or estrogen excess.

Common Symptoms

60 percent of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) are sufficiently secretory to present clinical syndrome of hormone excess.[1]

  • Forty-five percent of ACCs show symptoms of Cushing's syndrome alone
  • Twenty-five percent present with mixed overproduction of both glucocorticoids and androgens.[2]
  • Ten percent present with virilization alone

1- Symptoms of glucocorticoid excess include:

2- Symptoms of androgen excess symptoms (most readily noted among womens) include:

3- Symptoms of mineralcorticoid excess include:

4- Symptoms of estrogen excess (most readily noted in mens) include:

5- symptoms of catecholamines excess has been reported in adrenocortical cancers:[3]

6- Other symptoms may include:[4]

  • Abdominal lump
  • Abdominal or back pain
  • Abdominal fullness

Children usually present with virilization (84%), while isolated glucocorticoid excess is much less common (6%).[5]
