Educational Point-of-Care Ultrasound Discovers Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma, a Case Report: Clinical Implications and Review of the Literature

Although adrenal glands are not the primary focus for emergent pathology, the identified mass prompted a comprehensive evaluation, ultimately revealing a nonhormone-secreting adrenal cortical carcinoma. The rarity of this malignancy and the discrepancy between imaging and laboratory results underscore the need for a thorough investigation, with the focus suggesting that POCUS, despite its limitations, can play a crucial role in prompting additional imaging for accurate diagnosis and informed patient management. This case also highlights the significance of transparent communication while empowering patients and guiding further investigations for a comprehensive understanding of the pathology.
