Abstract |
Adrenal carcinoma is a rare disease both in adults and in children. 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 treated by total left adrenalectomy and has been followed up without problem over eight months.
