Spontaneous rupture of adrenocortical carcinoma

Am J Surg. 2007 Jul;194(1):77-8. doi: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2006.10.028.

Abstract

Massive hemorrhage from an adrenocortical carcinoma seldom occurs in the retroperitoneal or abdominal cavity. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of primary adrenocortical carcinoma occurring in an adolescent. A right adrenalectomy with complete removal of the tumor was performed successfully.
