title: [Feminizing adrenocortical tumor].
abstract: Feminizing adrenocortical tumor is rare. Three patients with feminizing adrenocortical tumor (2 males and 1 female) were treated surgically. The age of the patients was 11, 21 and 32 years old respectively. The removed tumors weighing 70 g, 250g and 31g respectively and they all were adrenocortical adenoma. The chief symptoms of the patients were gynecomastia, orchiatrophy and sexual inadequacy. The results of follow-up for 1-11 years showed no recurrence in all 3 patients. We consider that the tumor should be resected as soon as the diagnosis was established and long-term follow-up should be made after operation.
