ABSTRACT
Two cases of adrenal cortical carcinoma are described, wherein the diagnosis was established by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). FNAC is increasingly being accepted as a means of diagnosis of adrenal cortical carcinomas. In yester years the diagnosis was established largely on post-operative histopathology. Adrenal cortical carcinomas are rare and account for less than 0.05% of all malignant neoplasms. Adrenal gland has become frequent target of needle biopsies with the availability of sensitive imaging techniques and better localization. Currently, needle biopsy is the only non-surgical means of obtaining a diagnosis in patient with adrenal mass. We present two cases of adrenal cortical carcinoma diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC).
