Clinical management of bilateral functional adrenal adenomas
Adrenocortical tumors are uncommon in the pediatric population. We report a case of a pediatric patient with Beckwith Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) who was found to have bilateral functional adrenal adenomas: one mineralocorticoid-secreting and one androgen-secreting. The patient ultimately underwent staged surgical resection of both masses, resulting in marked reduction in hormone levels. This case highlights the pathophysiology of adrenal adenomas, association between BWS and adrenal masses, and treatment challenges of bilateral adrenal masses.
