title: [Tumors of the adrenal glands in children].
abstract: The article presents results of diagnostics and treatment of 26 children with tumors of the adrenals. The diversity of clinical symptoms was dependent on the zone of the adrenal cortex where the adrenocortical tumors were developing and the character of the hormones released. In diagnostics of the localization of adrenal tumors the authors give preference to pneumoretroperitoneography. A conclusion is made that the hormonal background must be studied in each patient with gynecomastia and pneumoretroperitoneography should be performed. Such a watchfulness is thought to be the only condition of the timely diagnostics of esteroma.
