Background: Clinical and histopathological distinction between benign and malignant adrenocortical tumors can be a challenge.Methods: Report on 2 patients with cortisol producing apparently benign adrenal adenomas >= 5 cm in diameter with local malignant recurrence and peritoneal carcinomatosis after endoscopic surgery.Results: Case 1: The 59-year-old male presented with adrenal hypercortisolism due to a 5.0 cm large adrenal tumor on the left side. A retroperitoneoscopic total adrenalectomy was performed. Histologically, a benign adrenal adenoma (Weiss score 1, Ki-67
