Introduction Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare but highly malignant endocrine tumor. Surgery is the primary choice of treatment but recurrence rates after surgery are high ( Schteingart et al . 2005 , Fassnacht et al . 2011 ). In case of

Introduction Adrenocortical cancer (ACC) is a rare and aggressive cancer with a 5-year survival at the metastatic stage below 15% ( Bilimoria et al . 2008 , Baudin et al . 2011 , Fassnacht et al . 2011 ). The insulin-like growth factor (IGF
