[A case of non-functioning adrenal cortical carcinoma with pulmonary and bony metastases].
A 49-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with complaints of edema and abnormal shadow in right pulmonary area. CT scan and abdominal aortography showed left adrenal mass. Moreover, the lung metastasis measured 60 x 65 mm and bony metastases were suspected in three areas on bone scanning. Under diagnosis of left non-functioning adrenal tumor with pulmonary and bony metastases, left adrenalectomy was performed. Histological diagnosis was left adrenal cortical carcinoma without lymph node metastasis. Treatment consisted of 3 g o,p-DDD and 400 mg carmofur per day after surgery. At present, pulmonary metastasis has decreased in size and bony metastases decreased in uptake on bone scan 12 months postoperatively.
