A woman in her late 50s with recent onset of hypertension, diabetes, lumbar pain and unintentional weight loss was diagnosed with a cortisol and androgen-producing adrenal mass. Despite this, serum adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) concentration was inappropriately elevated, which was investigated thoroughly. Investigations included a brain magnetic resonance imaging to exclude concomitant pituitary adenoma, a corticotropin-releasing hormone stimulation test and a gallium- and 18F-FDOPA PET scan, both excluding ectopic ACTH production.

Introduction: Pure androgen-secreting adrenocortical tumors are a rare but important cause of peripheral precocious puberty.
Case Presentation: Here, we report a pure androgen-secreting adrenocortical tumor in a 2.5-year-old boy presenting with penile enlargement, pubic hair, frequent erections, and rapid linear growth.

Due to its rarity, biochemical and histologic characteristics of androgen and glucocorticoid co-secreting adrenocortical adenomas are largely unknown. Herein, we report a case of adrenocortical adenoma that caused marked hyperandrogenemia and mild autonomous cortisol secretion. In this study, we investigated serum steroid profiles using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and histologic characteristics of the resected tumor.
