Abstract
Functioning adrenal cortical carcinoma occurring concurrently with pre gnancy is rare. Only four cases have been reported previously in the w orld literature. Here I discuss two additional cases of functioning ad renal cortical carcinoma in pregnancy. Both patients died of the illne ss. Despite the use of surgery and chemotherapy, the prognosis remains grim. Fetal prognosis, however, is excellent.
