Adrenal tumours

A 15-year review of 34 children with suprarenal tumours is presented. With the exception of one adrenal carcinoma and 4 neuroblastoma, all 12 cortical and 22 medullary tumours (neuroblastomas predominated in the latter group with 19 cases) showed hormonal hyperactivity. The symptomatology, the fundamental steps in diagnosis and therapy and the operative results are discussed.
