Feminizing adrenal tumors are rare in childhood. We present a case of a special category of adrenal tumor, an oncocytoma, causing isosexual peripheral precocity.
A 4-year old girl presented with breast development and menstrual bleeding over a period of 3-4 months. Her SMR staging was breast stage 4, pubic hair stage 3. Her bone age was advanced (6 year 10 months), stimulated LH 0.7 IU/L, estradiol 206 pmol/L and DHEAS >27.1 micromol/L. CT scan revealed a right adrenal mass with features of atypical adrenal adenoma. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy was done and histopathology revealed oncocytoma. Lin-Weiss-Bisceglia criteria classified it as likely benign, borne out till a 2 year follow up.
Adrenal oncocytoma can be a cause of isosexual peripheral precocity in a young girl. Recognition and correct classification of this histological variant, which is more often benign, is important for prognostication and choice of therapy after surgery.
儿童时期的女性化肾上腺肿瘤较为罕见。我们报告了一例特殊类型的肾上腺肿瘤——嗜酸细胞瘤,其导致同性性早熟。
一名 4 岁女孩出现乳房发育和月经出血,持续 3-4 个月。她的 SMR 分期为乳房 4 期,阴毛 3 期。骨龄提前(6 岁 10 个月),LH 刺激值为 0.7IU/L,雌二醇 206pmol/L,DHEAS >27.1 微摩尔/L。CT 扫描显示右侧肾上腺有肿块,具有非典型肾上腺腺瘤的特征。行腹腔镜肾上腺切除术,组织病理学显示为嗜酸细胞瘤。Lin-Weiss-Bisceglia 标准将其归类为可能良性,随访 2 年后仍为良性。
肾上腺嗜酸细胞瘤可能是年轻女孩同性性早熟的原因。正确识别和分类这种组织学变异型,其更倾向于良性,对于预测和选择手术后的治疗方案非常重要。
