Overview
Adrenocortical carcinoma can be classified according to hormone production and histological appearance. ACC may secrete cortisol, aldosterone, testosterone or estrogen. Other variants include oncocytic adrenal cortical carcinoma, myxoid adrenal cortical carcinoma, and carcinosarcoma.
Classification
Adrenocortical carcinomas are classified depending on:[1]
Hormones production:
A Functional adrenocortical carcinoma may produce one or more of the following hormones:[2]
- Cortisol
- Aldosterone
- Testosterone
- Estrogen (b) Nonfunctional
Histology:
- Well-differentiated
- Intermediate differentiated
- Poorly differentiated
- Anaplastic
Variants
- Oncocytic adrenal cortical carcinoma
- Myxoid adrenal cortical carcinoma
- Carcinosarcoma
- Adenosquamous adrenocortical carcinoma
- Clear cell adrenal cortical carcinoma
