Abstract :
Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare malignancy. Due to late diagnosis and no adequate effective adjuvant treatment, prognosis
remains poor. Only approximately 30% of these malignancies are confined to the adrenal gland when they are diagnosed, as these
tumors tend to be found years after their genesis. Cardiac involvement of adrenal carcinoma is very rare. We report a rare case of a
7-year-old female with right adrenal cortical carcinoma, involving the right-side heart.
