Objective: To describe the course and anatomo-pathologic findings in a patient with a cortisol-producing adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) who presented with disseminated invasive aspergillosis (DIA). We also review the clinical characteristics of ACC and the pathogenesis of DIA in the setting of hypercortisolemia.
Methods: We describe the case of a 47-year-old man with a recent diagnosis of ACC associated with hypercortisolism, who presented with a large right basal ganglia hematoma and lesions on multiple organs thought to be metastatic.

We report the case of a newborn male admitted on the first day of his life with temporo-occipital swelling detected at birth. Clinical examination showed conscious, hemodynamically and respiratory stable, afebrile, vigorous and responsive newborn; craniofacial examination objectified soft, mobile, temporo-occipital mass covered by the scalp measuring 10 cm along its longer left paramedian axis (A). Craniocerebral CT scan showed large heterogeneous left subgaleal parietal-temporal-occipital mass measuring 40/80 mm, suggesting a tumor of soft tissue components of the scalp (B).
