From 1973 to 1991, 13 patients [4 females (30%) and 9 males (70%)] were diagnosed with adrenal carcinoma at our hospital. The mean age at the time of diagnosis was 47.4 years (range 29 to 72 yrs). Eleven patients (85%) presented with abdominal symptoms and 8 (61%) with paraneoplastic syndrome. At the time of diagnosis, 3 (23%) had clinical or radiological signs of metastasis. Five patients (38.5%) had regional involvement and 5 (38.5%) had localized disease. The preoperative imaging studies disclosed an abnormal IVP in 8 of 13 patients (61%); 7 of 10 (70%) had an abnormal ultrasound scan and the CT scan was abnormal in 9 out of 9 patients (100%). Seventy-three percent of the tumors were classified as anaplastic or poorly differentiated carcinoma and 27% as differentiated carcinoma. Complete surgical excision was performed in 8 cases and op'DDD was administered in 4 cases. The five-year survival rate was 30%. We can conclude that early diagnosis, staging and histopathology have a significant effect on survival and surgical excision is the only treatment associated with medium or long-term survival.
1973年至1991年期间,我院共诊断出13例肾上腺癌患者[4例女性(30%),9例男性(70%)]。诊断时的平均年龄为47.4岁(范围29至72岁)。11例患者(85%)出现腹部症状,8例(61%)出现副肿瘤综合征。诊断时,3例(23%)有临床或影像学转移征象。5例患者(38.5%)有区域受累,5例(38.5%)为局限性疾病。术前影像学检查显示,13例患者中有8例(61%)静脉肾盂造影异常;10例中有7例(70%)超声扫描异常,9例患者的CT扫描均异常(100%)。73%的肿瘤被分类为间变性或低分化癌,27%为高分化癌。8例患者接受了完整的手术切除,4例患者接受了双氯苯二氯乙烷治疗。五年生存率为30%。我们可以得出结论,早期诊断、分期和组织病理学对生存率有显著影响,手术切除是唯一与中长期生存相关的治疗方法。
