AB Adrenocortical  carcinoma  (ACC)  is  a  rare  malignancy,  affecting  1.5–2  persons  per  million  each  year  (1).  ACC  is  slightly  more  common  in  women  and  has  a  bimodal  age  distribution,  with  a  higher  incidence  in  children  younger  than  5  years  and  in  adults  in  their  4th  and  5th  decades  of  life  (1).  Despite  improved  methods  of  diagnosis,  ACC  usually  presents  at  an  advanced  stage  and  as  a  result  5-year  survival  ranges  from  20%  and  45%.
