Purpose : Adrenocortical tumors are uncommon in children and comprise only a small proportion of primary adrenal neoplasms. The biologic behavior of these tumors may be very difficult to predict, and their rarity has hindered identification of clinical characteristics. Patients with functioning tumors have excessive steroid hormone production, and the clinical manifestation depends on the predominant hormone produced. The detection of...

Woo Ryoung Lee, Kyoung Whan Oh, Chang Hwi Kim, Sang Jhoo Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(1):137-143.   Published online January 31, 1991
Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare disease in childhood. Most of these carcinomas are functional, produc- ing endocrine abnormalities such as Cushing syndrome, virilization, precocious puberty, hyperaldosteronism or feminization. We experienced a case of adrenocortical carcinoma in a 12 month old male infant who exhibited features of Cushing syndrome, Virilization, precocious puberty and hyperaldosteronism, which were due to functional adrenocortical carcinoma. Microscopic examination revealed cellular pleomorphism...

This is a case report of adrenal cortical carcinoma in a 2 year 7 month old male patient who was diagnosed by clinical features, endocrinologic studies, radiologic studies and pathologic examina- tions. Cushing syndrome and virilization caused by adrenal cortical carcinoma were found. Left total adrenalectomy was performed. No evidence of metastasis was found at the time of operation. 3 months later, lung metastases...

Sei Weon Yang, Jong Jin Seo, Hyung Ro Moon
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1984;27(4):413-418.   Published online April 30, 1984

Most of these tumors are functional, especially in children, producing endocrine syndromes such as Cushing syndrome, virilization, feminization or precocious puberty. The authors report a nineteen month old girl who exhibited features of Cushing syndrome and virilization caused by adrenal cortical carcinoma measuring 5.5X5.0X2.8 cm. She was successfully...
