* We report a combination of unusual myxoid change and extensive lipomatous metaplasia of an adrenocortical carcinoma. The patient was a 38-year-old man with hypertension and heart failure. Radiographic examination revealed the presence of a left adrenal tumor, and adrenalectomy was performed. The tumor weighed 380 g and appeared encapsulated. The cut surface was predominantly gelatinous. Histologically, the tumor was composed of atypical round cells with eosinophilic to vacuolated cytoplasm. The tumor was diagnosed as adrenocortical carcinoma. The stroma accumulated copious mucinous material. In addition, individual to nodular mature adipocytes were admixed throughout the tumor. The ...
