Abstract EN
Adrenocortical oncocytomas are rare and mostly nonfunctioning neoplasms.
We report the case of a 27-year-old woman diagnosed with an ACTH-independent Cushing’s syndrome due to left adrenal oncocytoma.
She underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
Histopathological examination revealed an oncocytoma of uncertain malignant potential with a low Ki-67 proliferation index, inhibin A positivity, and chromogranin A negativity.
Electron micrographs confirmed adrenal oncocytoma cells, characterized by the presence of a large amount of mitochondria.
The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient experienced a progressive regression of Cushing-related symptoms.
Periodical follow-ups with MRI and cortisol dosage are required due to the neoplasm’s uncertain malignant potential.
Considerations on the diagnosis, pathology findings, clinical remarks, and interventions are made.
