Abstract
- An estrogen producing adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare, highly malignant tumor. Fewer than 100 cases of feminizing adrenocortical carcinomas in men have been reported. These tumors are usually large in size and show high levels of serum total estrogen and estradiol. Recently, two cases of estrogen producing adrenocortical carcinoma were experienced by our selves during in year. A unilateral adrenalectomy, with mass excision, was performed in both patients, with an ipsilateral nephrectomy performed in just one. Mitotane or cisplatin based adjuvant chemotherapy was also performed.
