| Abstract: | We report a 3-year, 5-month-old boy with an adrenocortical carcinoma. These tumours are rare and highly malignant in childhood.
In most cases they are functional, secreting adrenocortical hormones. In this case there was a misleading coexistence with
a second abdominal neoplasm, which was a ganglioneuroma; this is a rare benign tumour arising from the sympathetic nervous
system. The imaging investigations and their findings are discussed and correlated with pathology.
