Adrenocortical tumours are rare in children and account for only 0.3%-0.4% of all neoplasms in childhood. They present with variable signs and symptoms, depending on the type of hormonal hypersecretion. The majority of the adrenocortical tumours in children are functional (90%) and malignant (88%). Here, we describe a functional plurihormonal oncocytic adrenal cortical adenoma in a young girl, that mimicked a malignant adrenal lesion, clinically as well as on imaging and biochemical features. This report bears the objective of being aware of the atypical biochemical as well as imaging characteristics of oncocytic adrenal tumours.

Oncocytic adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant adrenal cortical tumor with limited documented case reports. Herein, a 65-year-old female patient presented with a large, solid adrenal mass. A diagnosis of oncocytic ACC was rendered with the following tumor characteristics: The tumor entirely consists of diffuse sheets of polygonal cells with bizarre nuclear atypia and deeply eosinophilic cytoplasm.

Oncocytic adrenal neoplasms, defined by ≥90 % of oncocytic cells, are rare. The significance of oncocytic changes within an adrenal neoplasm remains unclear. A retrospective study of adults who underwent adrenalectomy at a large center identified pure oncocytic neoplasms on final pathology (1997-2022).

Background: Adult pure androgen-secreting adrenal tumors (PASATs) are rarely reported and the malignancy of such tumor are difficult to confirm before surgery. Here we report a PASAT demonstrating extremely F-FDG uptake turned out to benign tumor by postoperative pathology examination.

Article Synopsis
- - Pheochromocytomas are uncommon tumors in the adrenal medulla, making up 10% of adrenal cancers, with oncocytic variants being especially rare, having only 150 documented cases.
- - The case study highlights a 60-year-old woman with a non-functional adrenal tumor, showcasing the complexities of diagnosing these tumors.
- - The report stresses the need for thorough histological and immunohistochemical examinations to accurately identify these rare tumors and avoid misdiagnosis.

Oncocytic adenomas are rare benign tumors that typically originate in organs such as the kidneys, thyroid, parathyroid, salivary glands, or pituitary gland. Oncocytic adenoma of the adrenal gland is extremely rare. It often shows heterogeneous, nonspecific features on anatomic imaging, as well as high F-FDG avidity despite its benign nature.
