Abstract

A Chinese adolescent girl presented with secondary amenorrhea. During follow-up, she gradually developed Cushingoid features and virilization. After a series of endocrine investigations, including urinary steroid profiling, a diagnosis of adrenocortical carcinoma was made. The treatment and prognosis of the disease are discussed.
