Adrenocortical masses are common and are in general called "incidentalomas".
Autopsy studies show that approximately 5%-15% of adults may have adrenal incidentalomas but very few of them, 0.06%, are adrenocortical carcinomas (ACC). We shall present recent applications of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear medicine modalities in the diagnosis of ACC.
