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