What Is Adrenocortical Carcinoma?
Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC) is a rare cancer that starts in the adrenal cortex, the outer layer of the adrenal glands. Every person has two adrenal glands, one located above each kidney.
These glands produce hormones that help regulate:
- Blood pressure
- Metabolism
- Stress response
- Salt and water balance
- Growth and sexual development
Important hormones produced by the adrenal cortex include:
Testosteronere type of carcinoma; effect more girls than boys and most commonly in age group 1 to 4 year old.
- Cortisol
- Aldosterone
- Estrogen
Some adrenal tumors produce excessive hormones and are known as functional tumors, while others do not produce hormones and are called non-functional tumors.Although ACC can occur at any age, it is uncommon and is sometimes seen in young children and adults.
What Causes Adrenocortical Carcinoma?
The exact cause of Adrenocortical Carcinoma is not fully understood. However, certain inherited genetic conditions and gene mutations may increase the risk.
Possible risk factors include:
- Carney Complex

Many patients develop ACC without any known risk factors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the early symptoms of adrenocortical carcinoma?
Symptoms can vary depending on whether the tumor produces hormones. Possible signs include abdominal pain or a lump, unexplained weight changes, weakness, or hormone-related changes such as excessive hair growth or menstrual changes.
Can adrenocortical carcinoma cause hormone changes?
Yes. Some adrenocortical carcinomas produce excess hormones, which can lead to symptoms related to cortisol, aldosterone, androgens or other adrenal hormones. The specific symptoms depend on which hormone is being produced.
Can adrenocortical carcinoma cause high blood pressure?
Yes. A hormone-producing adrenal tumor can sometimes increase blood pressure, particularly when it produces excess aldosterone or cortisol. High blood pressure has many other possible causes and does not by itself indicate cancer.
Can adrenocortical carcinoma cause abdominal pain or swelling?
Yes. A larger adrenal tumor may cause abdominal discomfort, pain or a feeling of fullness. These symptoms can have many other causes and should be medically evaluated if persistent.

Most cases are not inherited, but adrenocortical carcinoma can occur as part of certain inherited cancer syndromes. A personal or family history of certain cancers may lead a doctor to consider genetic evaluation.
