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]

1- Symptoms of glucocorticoid excess include:[3]

2- Symptoms of androgen excess symptoms (especially among women) include:[4]

3- Symptoms of mineralcorticoid excess include:[5]

4- Symptoms of estrogen excess (especially among men) include:[6]

5- symptoms of catecholamines excess has been reported in adrenocortical cancers:[7]

6- Other symptoms may include:[8]

Children usually present with virilization (84%), while isolated glucocorticoid excess is much less common (6%).[9]
