Myxoid adrenal cortical adenoma in an infant: An unusual morphology.

2015 
Myxoid adrenal cortical neoplasms are rare. To the best of our knowledge, no such case has been reported in pediatric or infantile age group till now. Here we report a case of non-functional myxoid adrenocortical adenoma (ACA) in a 7-month-old girl, who presented with a large mass in the abdomen. Microscopically, the tumor was composed of alveolar clusters of cells with focal pseudoglandular architecture in a background of abundant alcian blue positive myxoid matrix. Compressed rim of adrenal tissue was identified at periphery. The patient was put on a close follow-up in view of scarce literature on the subject. She has been doing fine without any recurrences. Myxoid adrenal cortical tumors expand the differential diagnoses of a myxoid neoplasm in retroperitoneum.
