Sexual ambiguity at birth in a girl usually suggests congenital adrenal hyperplasia. After exclusion of this diagnosis, we thought of an isolated abnormal state. It was only when the girl was 14 months old that the diagnosis of adrenocortical tumor with signs of virilism was stated. The difficulties of this diagnosis and the therapeutical possibilities of such cases are discussed.
