Adrenocortical Carcinoma: A Rare Tumor in a 12-year-old Girl

Abstract A 12-year-old girl presented with intra-abdominal mass and cushingoid features. On investigation, she was diagnosed as a case of functioning adrenocortical carcinoma. Two cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by excision of mass with right nephrectomy was performed. On 6-month follow-up, recurrence and metastasis were identified which were managed with surgery and chemotherapy.
