Abstract

Adrenokortikal tumors (ACTs) are rare in the pediatric population. The pathogenesis, prognostic

indicators, and manegement of these tumors are still unclear due to low prevalence. Most children

with an ACT present with sign and syptoms of endocrine disturbances including cuhingoid

symtoms and virilization. Here, we report a 2 month-old girl with cushingoid symptoms and

diagnosed as adrenocortical tumor

Keywords: Cushing syndrome, adrenocortical tumor
