    TLDR A rare adrenal tumor in a 9-year-old girl was successfully treated with surgery.
    Adrenal oncocytomas were typically non-functional and often detected incidentally, with most being benign. Functioning adrenocortical oncocytomas were extremely rare, especially in children, with most cases reported in adults aged 40 to 60. This document reported a rare case of a functioning adrenocortical oncocytoma in a 9-year-old female who presented with virilization symptoms, such as deepening of the voice and excessive hair growth, along with elevated plasma testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels. The case was successfully managed through laparoscopic surgery.

      Clascoterone in Winlevi, a topical AR antagonist, is being re-examined due to concerns about HPA axis suppression in adolescents, but it's unlikely to be banned for adult use in androgenetic alopecia (AGA).
