Light micrograph section through human tissue showing adrenal cortical cancer (ACC). This type of cancer, also known as adrenal cortical carcinoma, develops in the cortex of the adrenal gland. It's a very rare disease and is caused by a cancerous growth in the adrenal cortex which is the outer layer of the adrenal glands. These glands lie on top of the kidneys and play a role in the endocrine system, the system that produces and regulates hormones. | |
