Case report: A giant hemorrhagic adrenocortical carcinoma causing cardiorespiratory embarrassment
CONCLUSION: A giant hemorrhagic functional ACC is extremely uncommon with very poor prognosis. Such conditions should be investigated to rule out phaeochromocytoma. Its potential neuro-hormonal interactions and anatomical correlations can cause fatal perioperative cardio-respiratory embarrassment. The anaesthetic and surgical teams should be capable in managing the hemodynamic instabilities that may present during surgical manipulation and resection of a large ACC.PMID:34840751 | PMC:PMC8606848 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2021.102996
