Article Synopsis
- Adrenocortical tumors (ACTs) are rare in children and usually present with symptoms like virilization and Cushing's syndrome, with surgery being the main treatment despite high recurrence risks.
- A case study of a 3.5-year-old girl revealed a left adrenal tumor diagnosed as a benign adenoma, but she later developed pulmonary metastases due to loss of follow-up and unfortunately passed away.
- The study emphasizes the need for careful monitoring and follow-up in pediatric ACT cases to prevent complications and improve treatment success, as distinguishing between adenomas and carcinomas can be difficult.
