Adrenocortical Tumours in Children: An Emphasis on Histological Scoring System
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Cancer Education and Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare neoplasm with poor prognosis. Discriminating benign and malignant behaviour is more challenging. We report a case of adrenocortical adenoma (ACA) and two cases of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC). All three cases were girls and presented with features of virilisation. Tumour weight, size, and Weiss criteria were found to be useful clinicopathological criteria for distinguishing adenoma from carcinoma.
