Article Synopsis
- Diagnosing whether adrenal tumors are malignant or benign can be difficult, especially if both androgens and cortisol are being produced, which raises red flags for malignancy.
- A 36-year-old woman presented with symptoms like excessive hair growth, an enlarged clitoris, and missed menstrual periods, and imaging revealed a significant adrenal mass and lymph node enlargement.
- Testing showed high levels of testosterone and cortisol, leading to surgery; pathology confirmed the presence of an adrenal adenoma and a positive PCR for malignancy in the lymph nodes.
