Adrenal tumor presenting as precocious puberty.
We present a case report of a two and a half-year-old boy who presented with precocious puberty. A clinical diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia was made. Patient was investigated and found to have an adrenocortical tumor. The tumor was about 7 cms in diameter. The tumor was secreting androgens, 17OHP and cortisol. This is an unusual array of hormones to be secreted by an adrenal tumor.
