Abstract: Although adrenocortical tumors are found with some frequency, particularly in older patients, and more often in females, care must be taken to obtain an accurate diagnosis and course of treatment. Adrenocortical adenomas (ACA) and adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) have very distinctly different potential outlooks for patients, and unless treatment is aligned with the correctly identified etiology, outcomes may be severe. The incidence of ACC in pediatric populations is much rarer, and the disease manifests itself with an array of symptoms that can be assessed and identified with treatment options. Unless the correct diagnosis and treatment are determined at an early stage of the disease, the prognosis for the young patient’s status can be very unfortunate. This document will discuss a recent case involving pediatric ACC.
