Abstract

We present a 32-year-old woman with no morbidities who was admitted with a dilated cardiomyopathy and cardiac failure due to adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) which improved completely with surgical resection. Awareness regarding such rare presentations can avoid undue delay in diagnosis and management.

Keywords: Adrenocortical carcinoma; cardiac failure; dilated cardiomyopathy
