Abstract

Differential diagnosis of adrenal gland tumor in neonates and children of the first months of life is an extremely difficult clinical task. Most often, it is congenital cystic neuroblastoma or prenatal adrenal hemorrhage. As a rule, it is hard to make the right diagnosis due to absence of clinical presentation and similarity of visualization data therefore sometimes surgical tumor removal followed by histological verification becomes the method of choice. The article presents a clinical case of the adrenal gland tumor in 5-months old boy. Authors discuss the difficulties in the formulation of the final clinical diagnosis.
