ABSTRACT
Adrenocortical neoplasms are rare in childhood. Unlike their adult counterparts, they are often hormonally active and malignant. Despite being uncommon, adrenocortical neoplasms in children have significant associated morbidity and require complete surgical resection for effective management. Furthermore, the clinical overlap between adrenocortical neoplasms, adrenal medullary neoplasms, and functional disorders of the adrenal cortex requires that the practicing pediatric surgeon have a solid working knowledge of the presentation, diagnostic workup, and management of these anatomically related yet disparate pathologies.
