Descriptor carcinoma corticosuprarrenal
Entry term(s) carcinoma de la corteza suprarrenal
Scope note: Neoplasia maligna de la CORTEZA SUPRARRENAL. Los carcinomas corticosuprarrenales son masas neoplásicas no encapsuladas, anaplásicas (ANAPLASIA), que a veces exceden los 20 cm o 200 g. Es más frecuente que sean funcionantes que no funcionantes y producen HORMONAS CORTICOSUPRARRENALES que pueden dar lugar a hipercotisolismo (SÍNDROME DE CUSHING), HIPERALDOSTERONISMO y/o VIRILIZACIÓN.

Scope note: A malignant neoplasm of the ADRENAL CORTEX. Adrenocortical carcinomas are unencapsulated anaplastic (ANAPLASIA) masses sometimes exceeding 20 cm or 200 g. They are more likely to be functional than nonfunctional, and produce ADRENAL CORTEX HORMONES that may result in hypercortisolism (CUSHING SYNDROME); HYPERALDOSTERONISM; and/or VIRILISM.
