| Abstract |
|
We experienced a Cushing’s syndrome which was caused by adrenocortical carcinoma in 8-year-old boy.
He has suffered from obesity, moonface and growth retardation for 2 years.
The diagnosis was confirmed by clinical symptoms, biochemical studies, X-rays and pathologic examinations.
A total adrenalectomy was impossible because of far extended mass to adjacent organ, so
only tissue biopay was done. After surgery, he received radiation therapy on the tumor area 3 times.
Follow-up studies were impossible since he did not return to our hospital.
