Adrenal cortical tumours in children.
Adrenal cortical tumours are uncommon in children. For many years it was thought that the majority were malignant with a poor prognosis. Pathological criteria for malignancy are unreliable for these tumours in childhood. The radiological findings in seven children are presented. Large tumour size (> 6 cm diameter) and radiological appearances such as a complex echo pattern were considered to provide useful indicators of malignancy.
