  ABSTRACT: Adrenocortical carcinoma is a malignant tumor of the adrenal gland, very rare in pediatric pathology. Authors presented a pediatric case of adrenocortical carcinoma which showed neurology symptoms at 1st visit and Cushing syndrome secondarily. The patient received a ketoconazole-based treatment. The outcome was fatal before the surgical excision of the tumor, because of delayed diagnosis. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management of adrenocortical carcinoma could improve the prognosis in children.
