AB  - Oncocytic tumors arising from the adrenal gland are rare.  Oncocytic adrenal neoplasms (OAN) may mimic adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) at presentation, and can only be defnitively diagnosed histologically. Most OANs are benign, and carry a favorable prognosis. We report on an 83-year-old female who, while being investigated for anemia and weight loss, was found to have a 23 cm adrenal mass concerning for ACC. Adrenalectomy and histopathology confrmed a malignant OAN, based on theLin-Weiss-Biscegliacriteria.Wereportonthelargest non-functional, malignant OAN cited in the literature to date. OAN’s, though rare, can be considered in the differential diagnosis of large adrenal tumors.
