Abstract
We report a rare case of synchronous adrenocortical carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma. A 60 year male, a known diabetic and hypertensive under treatment, while undergoing routine investigations and ultrasonography of abdomen, was incidentally detected to have adrenal as well as renal masses. On computed tomograghy scan right adrenal mass measured about 10 x 8 cm while the renal mass was 4.6 x 3.8 cm in size, Urinary vanillylmandelic acid and 24 hr urine metanephrine were within normal limits. Similarly, serum cortisol and dihydroepiandrosterone were in normal range. Patient underwent right adrenalectomy with right partial nephrectomy. Histopathological examination of adrenal mass revealed adrenocortical carcinoma while that of renal mass revealed clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
