An Adrenocortical Carcinoma Associated with Non-Islet Cell Tumor Hypoglycemia and Aberrant ACTH Production
Introduction. Adrenocortical carcinomas (ACCs) are infrequently reported to present with severe hypoglycemia syndrome resulting from the secretion of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) by tumor cells.
