Abstract
The existence of synchronous bilateral adrenal masses is an uncommon condition except in the relatively more frequent cases of pheochromocytoma or metastatic tumors. Two cases of synchronous nonfunctioning bilateral adrenal cortex carcinoma, removed during the same operation, are described. The patients currently are receiving hormonal supplementation, and were well 16 and 12 months postoperatively.
