In 12 children with hyperadrenocorticism caused by tumor of the adrenal cortex the most common clinical picture was that of a mixture of adrenogenital and Cushing's syndromes. All tumors were surgically removed; adrenal steroids were used in the preparation of 11 patients for operation. One patient died with extensive metastasis 5 months after operation, while 11 were alive and well 18 months to 29 years after operation. Data from the 12 cases in this series and from those in the literature suggest that the likelihood of metastasis may be correlated with the relation of tumor weight to body weight.
