Virilizing adrenocortical carcinoma is an extremely rare disease in children. We report a 1 year-old girl who had progressive development of pubic hair, facial acne and clitoris hypertrophy in a few months. Besides, abdominal distension with a palpable mass over right abdomen was noted. Pubic hair was Tanner stage II and clitoris length was 2.5 cms. Serum levels of testosterone, 17- OHP and DHEA-S were increased. Image studies showed a well capsulated mass above the right kidney. Complete removal of the tumor was accomplished through a transabdominal approach. The diagnosis of adrenocortical carcinoma was confirmed histologically. One month after operation, the levels of testosterone and DHEA-S returned to the normal range. We present this case and review the literature. |
