ABSTRACT
Adrenal carcinomas are rare, they have an incidence of 0.6-1.67 cases per million habitants per year. We present the case of a 6-year-old patient with general malaise and hepatomegaly. During its approach, different imaging studies were requested, including abdominal radiography, liver ultrasound, magnetic resonance and positron emission tomography-computed tomography. This case allows us to see the radiological manifestations of adrenal carcinoma in pediatrics through different techniques, magnetic resonance and nuclear medicine.
