Abstract
- Hemorrhage or cystic rupture of adrenal gland is uncommonly reported in infants. However, spontaneously ruptured nonfunctioning adrenocortical carcinoma has not been yet reported in Korean literature We describe a 65-year-old woman who developed unilateral spontaneous adrenal rupture in coexisting nonfunctioning adrenocortical carcinoma without trauma or infection. And our preoperative impression was suspicious ruptured renal cell carcinoma.
