title: [Adenocarcinoma of the adrenal gland. An accidental finding. Report of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: Carcinoma of the adrenal gland is a very unusual entity with a very poor prognosis. Even though the great advances in imaging during the last few years, the possibility of an early diagnosis of these tumors has not been reached. In a high percentage of cases, the diagnosis was made as incidentalomas while doing some complementary tests. A multidisciplinary team is necessary for the diagnosis and management of this pathology. We report a case of non functional adrenal cortex carcinoma, it's diagnosis, management and evolution.
