[Associated role of surgery and antimitotic o, p'-DDD treatment in hyperfunctioning adrenal cancers with diffuse metastases].
The observation of two cases of hyperworking corticosuprarenal carcinomata with diffuse metastases, has induced the authors to examine this problem on the base of the most actual bibliography of the last years. They explain in detail the 2 cases, that are a feminizing tumor in a 55 years old man and a Cushing syndrome with hypertension in a 18 years old women. The peculiar characteristic are in the first case the clinical rareness of feminizing syndrome from suprarenal carcinoma and in the second case the histopathological particularity of splenic metastases. In regard to therapy for this particular tumor, the AA. incline for the surgical removal of tumor, that can induce, in the most favourable cases, a partial or total reduction of endocrine symptomatology and for the giving in great doses of o,p'-DDD from the immediate post-operating period.
