Abstract
A rare case of non-functional carcinoma of adrenal cortex is reported. After a review of the relevant literature, clinical characteristics and diagnostic methods are discussed and surgical treatment and chemotherapy prescribed in this case outlined. Based on personal experience, limitations of diagnostic imaging technics are presented and the importance of conventional radiologic investigations (urography and selective arteriography) re-evaluated, while emphasizing the reciprocal complementarity of all these methods for exploration of retroperitoneal lesions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
