title: Myxoid adrenal cortical adenoma in an infant: An unusual morphology.
abstract: Myxoid adrenal cortical neoplasms are rare. To the best of our knowledge, no such case has been reported in pediatric or infantile age group till now. Here we report a case of non-functional myxoid adrenocortical adenoma (ACA) in a 7-month-old girl, who presented with a large mass in the abdomen. Microscopically, the tumor was composed of alveolar clusters of cells with focal pseudoglandular architecture in a background of abundant alcian blue positive myxoid matrix. Compressed rim of adrenal tissue was identified at periphery. The patient was put on a close follow-up in view of scarce literature on the subject. She has been doing fine without any recurrences. Myxoid adrenal cortical tumors expand the differential diagnoses of a myxoid neoplasm in retroperitoneum.
