Adrenocortical tumor (ACT) is a rare tumor, the annual incidence of which is estimated to be 0.5 to 2 cases per million [1], leading to 0.04 and 0.2% of causes of cancer death.We report here the case of a patient admitted in the surgery department B at Ibn Sina hospital in Rabat.This is a 50-year-old man, a chronic smoker with 33 smoking years, who underwent an operation a month ago for suspicion of a Hydatid Cyst of the right lobe of the liver, with intraoperative finding of a right adrenal mass and a normal liver. Biopsy later on reported a malignant adrenocortical tumor, so the patient was referred for subsequent care and management. The patient subsequently underwent surgery by laparotomy, and complete resection of the adrenal tumor mass was successful, followed by simple postoperative consequences.
