Abstract:
Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare tumor in children. This tumor is more likely to be hormonally active in children than in adults and tends to cause a variety of symptoms. These tumors are usually diagnosed at the advanced stages and have a dismal prognosis. Here we report a case of a functioning adrenocortical carcinoma in a child with a review of the relevant literature.
