Аннотация
OBJECTIVE: To present a case of giant adrenal carcinoma associated with renal vein and inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus. Up to now, there is no similar case reported in the national literature.
METHODS: 75 year old woman with signs of virilization. CT-scan showed an 18 cm adrenal mass with venous thrombus and possible pulmonary metastases. The working diagnosis was primary suprarenal carcinoma.
RESULT: Due to elderly age and advanced stage, including metastasis, we decided to not perform surgery, and initiate chemotherapy.
CONCLUSIONS: Adrenal Cancer is an infrequent and very aggressive tumor. Surgery is the only curative treatment. In advanced stages chemotherapy is recommended, but with poor results.
