In 1893, Grawitz et al was the first one described ACC and falsely assumed it a hypernephroma. By 1938, the Mayo group had removed tumors successfully from 16 consecutive patients, most of whom had Cushing’s syndrome. In 1960, mitotane was first used clinically to treat inoperable or recurrent ACC.

Overview

In 1893, Grawitz et al was the first one who described adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), and falsely assumed that it was hypernephroma. By 1938, the Mayo group had removed tumors successfully from 16 consecutive patients, most of whom had Cushing’s syndrome. In 1960, mitotane was first used clinically to treat inoperable or recurrent ACC.
