Antenatally detected functional adrenocortical adenoma: A case report and review of current literature

Pediatric adrenocortical tumors (ACTs) are rare entities with an incidence of 0.2% of all pediatric tumors. Only two cases of antenatally detected ACT have been reported in the literature. Our case is the first report of an antenatally detected suprarenal mass which manifested with postnatal viriliz...
