Abstract

Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC) is a very rare tumour with an estimated incidence of 1-2/ million population/year and an overall 5-years survival of 40%. Surgical resection remains the only treatment that can significantly improve survival of such patients. This case report illustrates the need for multidisciplinary collaboration in the care of patients with locally advanced ACC.
