Adrenocortical cancer is an extremely rare tumor presenting with extensive locoregional spread at the time of diagnosis. Due to the diagnostic difficulties preoperatively and a lack of effective treatment options, patients have poor prognosis. Patients succumb to metastases within a couple of months. Only 20 cases have been so far reported in the literature with a medium disease-free survival up to 2 years. We present a case of a locoregional recurrence of adrenocortical cancer 18 years after left adrenalectomy.
