ABSTRACT
Adrenal cortical tumor is a rare disease both in adults and children. Most of these tumors are malignant and functional, especially in children, producing endocrine syndrome such as virilization, Cushing's syndrome, hyperaldosteronism or feminization. Recently, we experienced a case of adrenal cortical tumor in a 26 month-old boy who showed features of virilization. This case was diagnosed with typical hormonal findings and abdominal CT and confirmed by pathologic examinations. He was successfully treated with right adrenalectomy. We report a case of virilizing adrenal cortical tumor and review the literature.
