The widespread application of abdominal imaging procedure has resulted in an increased frequency of clinically silent adrenal masses. Although most AIs are nonfunctioning benign adenomas, a multidisciplinary approach with biochemical and radiological evaluation is needed to characterize these lesions and identify patients who are at high risk for hormonal or malignant evolution. Herein, we describe a case of a 69-year-old man with a pain at the base of right chest. On the basis of clinical evaluation, biochemical analysis, as well as imaging procedures, a diagnosis of right adrenocortical carcinoma was made. The patient underwent medical treatment.Keywords: adrenal incidentaloma, adrenal mass, adrenocortical carcinomaGiovanni RuotoloMaria Raffaella AmbrosioPatrizia Rosa Caroleoet alDove Medical Pressarticleadrenal incidentalomaadrenal massadrenocortical carcinomaGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 5, Pp 31-35 (2010)
