Adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) is an aggressive malignancy that has a poor prognosis because of how late they are discovered. Children with ACC often have an underlying genetic disorder. When a tumor is present, they may present with nonspecific or Cushingoid symptoms. CT, MRI, and F‑18 fluorodeoxyglucose‑PET are used in diagnosis.

ACC is a rare but highly lethal endocrine tumor, especially in children, where late detection leads to poor survival rates and limited therapeutic options.
