  • Beschreibung: Abstract Disclosure: E. Hall: None. S. Gupta: None. J. Lee: None. Background: Adrenal cortical oncocytomas are rare neoplasms that are often non-functional, but there have been case reports of associated hypercortisolism, hyperandrogenism, and in even rarer cases, multiple hormonal excesses. Clinical Case: A 30 year old woman with history of hypertension, prediabetes and obesity presented with 3 years of oligomenorrhea, hirsutism, weight gain, and voice deepening. She did not take any medications and had no family history of endocrine diseases. Labs revealed hyperandrogenism: elevated total testosterone of 390 ng/dL and 435 ng/dL (nl 6-82), suppressed FSH of 0.2 mIU/mL (nl 1.7-21.5) and LH of <0.1 mIU/mL (nl 1.0-95.6), normal DHEA-S of 290 ug/dL (nl 98.8-340). Morning 17-hydroxyprogesterone was elevated to 944 ng/dL and increased to 1031 ng/dL (nl 23-431) on ACTH stimulation test, which did not meet diagnostic criteria for non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Also, genetic testing for CYP21A2 gene mutations was negative. Pelvic ultrasound was unremarkable. CT of the adrenal glands showed a 4.6 x 3.8 x 4.4 cm mildly heterogeneous left adrenal mass that measured 35 HU on non-contrast images with absolute washout of 50% and relative washout of 31%. The mass was concerning for malignancy based on HU >20, size >4cm, and 50% contrast washout (borderline). Overnight 1mg dexamethasone suppression test showed non-suppressed morning cortisol of 7.1 ug/dL (nl <1.8), with dexamethasone level of 246 ng/dL (nl 180-550) and ACTH of <5 pg/ml (nl 6-50). Twenty four hour urinary free cortisol level was slightly elevated to 52.3 mcg/24h (nl 4-50). Plasma metanephrines and aldosterone/renin ratio were normal. The patient underwent left laparoscopic adrenalectomy without complications. Pathology was consistent with adrenal cortical oncocytoma. Post-operatively, morning cortisol was <0.3 ug/dL, so she was started on hydrocortisone replacement twice daily but was tapered off within three months. Three weeks after surgery, total testosterone was <8 ng/dL. Two months after surgery, her menstrual cycles resumed. Fifteen months after surgery, she had regular menstrual cycles, 20 lb weight loss, resolution of hirsutism, hypertension and prediabetes. Conclusions: Adrenal cortical oncocytomas are rare tumors of the adrenal glands that should be considered in the differential for large adrenal tumors that appear suspicious for malignancy on imaging. They may or may not be functional, and in this case, the tumor secreted both androgens and cortisol. Although androgen-secreting tumors are frequently malignant, such as adrenocortical carcinomas, androgen-secreting oncocytomas are generally considered benign. However, there have been rare reports of malignant oncocytomas and oncocytomas of uncertain malignant potential. Presentation: Friday, June 16, 2023
