Adrenal Cancer

The abnormal growth of malignant cells in the outer layer of the adrenal glands (either of the two glands located above each kidney and produces hormones that give instructions to almost all the organs and tissues in the body) is termed as adrenal cancer. It is a rare form of cancer that is usually aggressive but treatable if caught in the early stages. You may be at higher risk of adrenal cancer if you have any of the following genetic diseases:

Li-Fraumeni syndrome: a rare hereditary predisposition to cancer, including breast cancer, bone cancer (osteosarcoma) and soft tissues cancer
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome: a hereditary disorder caused by genetic mutation. It is characterized by an overgrowth syndrome, irregularities including macrosomia (large body size), macroglossia (large tongue), defects in the formation of the abdominal wall, kidney abnormalities, hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) in the infancy years, and deformed ear creases or pits
Carney complex: a hereditary condition characterized by spotty skin pigmentation and an increased risk of multiple benign tumours
