Abstract
Adrenocortical carcinomas are a rare type of malignancy, particularly in children. There is no such gender predilection with both male and female preponderance in different studies. Early diagnosis and treatment are necessary for better prognosis as well as its differentiation from entities like adrenocortical adenoma and phaeochromocytoma. Here, we describe a case of adrenocortical cancer in a 2-year-old child who had virilistic symptoms, hirsutism and weight gain. Her tanner stage was II. On histomorphology Weiss score was 8 and Wieneke AFIP score was 6. Patient received timely chemotherapy after surgery
