The significance of hepatic lesions associated with small adrenocortical tumours in childhood.
Small adrenocortical tumours in children are rarely associated with hepatic pathology. We present two case reports of children with hepatic pathology associated with small adrenal tumours on computed tomography. One child had multiple granulomatous lesions due to toxocariasis and the other had focal nodular hyperplasia. Hepatic lesions seen in association with small adrenal tumours in childhood may represent coincidental rather than metastatic pathology.
