ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
The adrenocortical rest tumours are the very rare entity in the pediatric population. They are usually found along the gonadal descent paths (celiac axis, the broad ligamen, the adnexa of the testes or the spermatic cord). They have been also described to occur at rare ectopic sites like intracranial locations, placenta, kidney, pancreas and liver. CLINICAL CASE Here we present a unusual case of an ectopic, virilising, primary adrenocortical tumour localized in the spinal region in a 8 years-old-boy.DISCUSSION:
This is the first case of functional ectopic, adrenocortical tumour localized in the spinal region in a pediatric population. We discuss here the clinical presentation and the diagnostic challenges and provide the review of the literature.
