A two year old girl with symptoms of virilization was investigated and an adrenal gland tumor with morphological sings of malignancy was diagnosed. After surgery, irradiation and chemotherapy, a complete recovery was observed. The authors point out the diagnostical difficulties in similar cases. Our observation seems to confirm earlier suggestions, that in cases with predominant androgen activity the better prognosis is expected.
