[Adrenocortical oncocytoma]

The paper characterizes adrenocortical oncocytoma, a rare adrenal tumor, accompanied by Cushing's syndrome and estrogen and androgen production and provides histological and immunohistochemical features. The authors describe their observation of a 33-year-old female woman. It is shown that estimation of the malignant potential of adrenocortical oncocytomas requires a special approach and must be done using the Lin-Weiss-Bisceglia criteria.

Federal clinical practice guidelines on the diagnostics and treatment of adrenocortical cancer

Statement of hormonal activity and potential malignancy are the most important issues of diagnosis and selection of appropriate treatment way for patients with adrenal tumors. Adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) is rare disease with poor prognosis. Incidience of ACC is about 0.5-2 per million, and no more then 2-4% among adrenal tumors. This draft of guidelines of diagnosis and treatment of ACC is offered to common discussion among wide round of specialists.
