title: Adrenocortical carcinoma in a child with congenital hemihypertrophy.
abstract: We describe a very rare case of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) presenting with Cushing's virilising syndrome in a female child with congenital hemihypertrophy (CHh). CHh was of more value for early detection of ACC than Cushing's virilisation.
