Functioning adrenocortical oncocytoma: The first documented case producing interleukin-6 and review of the literature
Adrenocortical oncocytoma is an extremely rare and predominantly non-functioning tumor. We herein report the first case of an adrenocortical oncocytoma that produces interleukin (IL)-6. A 38-yr-old woman was r...
