Abstract

Adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) is an aggressive malignancy that has a poor prognosis because of how late they are discovered. Children with ACC often have an underlying genetic disorder. When a tumor is present, they may present with nonspecific or Cushingoid symptoms. CT, MRI, and F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-PET are used in diagnosis.
