Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy and even rarer in infancy. Most of these tumors in pediatric age group are hormonally active and predominantly present with virilization. Cortisol hypersecretion presenting as Cushing syndrome is extremely rare and seen in older age groups. We report a 4-month-old infant who presented with linear growth arrest and excessive weight gain in early infancy, consequently diagnosed with ACC. On long-term follow-up for 7 years, he remained metastasis free following surgical resection and was not treated with chemotherapy.
肾上腺皮质癌(ACC)是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,在婴儿期更为罕见。儿科年龄组中的大多数此类肿瘤具有激素活性,主要表现为男性化。表现为库欣综合征的皮质醇分泌过多极为罕见,多见于老年人群体。我们报告一例4个月大的婴儿,在婴儿早期出现线性生长停滞和体重过度增加,最终被诊断为肾上腺皮质癌。经过7年的长期随访,他在手术切除后未发生转移,也未接受化疗。
