Abstract

An 62-year-old male was admitted to our hospital for an evaluation of high grade fever, body weight loss and lumbago. He was diagnosed as having a left adrenal tumor with intracaval extension and underwent a radical surgery, including resection of the tumor, left kidney, spleen and IVC tumor thrombus. Histopathological diagnosis was adrenocortical carcinoma with tumor thrombus. To our knowledge, our case seems to be the 8th case report of left adrenocortical cancer with tumor thrombus extension into IVC. Average survival of reported cases was about 15 months. At 4 months after surgery, the patient died due to lung metastasis.
