[Corticoadrenal tumors in children. Apropos of 3 cases and review of the literature].

Report of corticoadrenaloma in three children (1 malignant and 2 benign tumors). These 3 cases are analysed in comparison with the 72 cases found in the medical literature. From the whole series, it can be concluded that these tumors are rare, and occur predominantly in females and in very young children. Clinically, the secreting forms with rich and variable symptomatology contrast with the tumoral forms usually asymptomatic. The diagnosis between benign and malignant tumors remains difficult in cytopathological studies. In benign form, the treatment is always surgical and is successful. In malignant form, surgical treatment must be completed by chemotherapy, but the prognosis is definitively better if the tumor could be entirely removed.
