Introduction: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant tumor that develops in the layers of the adrenal cortex with an incidence of 0.5–2 per million per year. Case report: A 40-year-old female patient, admitted for left flank heaviness, evaluation was in favour of a suspicious left adrenal tumour, the non-functional caracater was retained after a negative secretory workup. The patient was operated on with a histological appearance of metastatic ACC. Discussion and conclusion: The prognosis for these tumors is poor, since at the time of diagnosis the majority of cases are already metastatic, especially when the tumour is non-functional. The management of ACC is complex, representing a real diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
