Abstract

Background

Extra-adrenal non-functional adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC)is an extremely rare tumor with only eight cases having been reported at different localizations.

Case Presentation

A 60-year-old woman was presented to our hospital with abdominal pain. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a solitary mass abutting the wall of the small bowel. She underwent resection of the mass, and the results of histopathology and immunohistochemistry were consistent with ACC.

Conclusion

We report the first occurrence of non-functional adrenocortical carcinoma in the wall of the small bowel in the literature. Magnetic resonance examination is sensitive enough to indicate the accurate location of the tumor and is of great help to clinical operation.
