Adrenocortical carcinomas (ACC) are classical presentations of germline cancer predisposition syndromes such as the Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS). Li-Fraumeni syndrome is a multiple cancer syndrome caused by germline alterations of the tumor protein 53 (TP53) tumor suppressor gene and is often associated with ACC. If minor adrenocortical tumors (ACTs) are detected early, resection has proven to provide patients with better outcomes. However, non-functioning ACCs are particularly insidious since these patients present late and with distant metastases. We present the case of a 12-year-old female with a history of Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) and a non-hormone-secreting ACC in the context of an exceedingly rare c.743G>A (p.Arg248Gln) p53 mutation.
肾上腺皮质癌(ACC)是种系癌症易感综合征(如李-弗劳梅尼综合征,LFS)的典型表现。李-弗劳梅尼综合征是一种由肿瘤蛋白53(TP53)肿瘤抑制基因的种系改变引起的多癌综合征,常与肾上腺皮质癌相关。如果早期发现微小肾上腺皮质肿瘤(ACT),手术切除已被证明能为患者带来更好的预后。然而,无功能肾上腺皮质癌尤其隐匿,因为这些患者就诊时已出现晚期且伴有远处转移。我们报告了一例12岁女性病例,该患者有李-弗劳梅尼综合征(LFS)病史,且在极为罕见的c.743G>A(p.Arg248Gln)p53突变情况下患有非激素分泌性肾上腺皮质癌。
