Abstract

A case is presented of prolonged survival following multiple thoracotomies performed for metastatic adrenal cortical carcinoma that was refractory to other treatment modalities. In selected patients with isolated metastases to the lungs, repeated surgical resection may offer the only possibility for cure or extended palliation.
