[Ossifying adrenocortical carcinoma with myelolipoma].
In a 25-year-old female in adrenocortical carcinoma with a myelolipoma and areas of ossification was removed by operation. The carcinoma did not penetrate the myeloadipose structure. The finding of an actively growing bone within the stroma of the adenocarcinoma can be explained by the local action of androgens produced by the tumour tissue.
