Pathological prognostication of paediatric adrenocortical tumours: Is a gold standard emerging?

Background: Criteria for the pathological classification of adult adrenocortical tumours (ACTs) have been found to overestimate the malignant potential of childhood ACTs. We sought to evaluate the accuracy and utility of criteria developed for paediatric ACT compared to current criteria for adults.

Methods: ACTs treated between January 2006 and December 2016 in two paediatric institutions were evaluated.
