Oncocytic adrenocortical neoplasm are very rare, with only 150 cases described in the medical literature. Usually, they are diagnosed incidentally on imaging performed for other indications because only approximately 17% are functional masses. Treatment is generally adrenalectomy and laparoscopy can be performed when there is no evidence of malignancy. We report a rare case of a functional oncocytic adrenocortical neoplasm secreting an excess of androgens.
