We experienced a very rare case of late pulmonary metastasis from ACC. The patient was a 40-year-old woman who had undergone a left adrenectomy 12 years earlier. Instead of a large metastatic lung tumor with hemothorax and the existence of metastases in other organs, combined therapy of repeated resections for metastases and adjuvant therapy allowed for almost a 36-month survival following the first recurrence and a good quality of life. In addition, a blood and pathological study revealed that the tumor in this case was an alpha-fetoprotein-producing ACC, which is, as far as we could ascertain, the first case of its kind.
