Our center, in cooperation with the Clinic of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology at FN Motol and the Children's Clinic of the FN Olomouc, provides comprehensive care for children and adolescents with adrenal tumors. Although they are rare diseases, they can be serious and require the cooperation of experienced specialists.
The adrenal glands can be affected by several types of tumors in children. Among the most common are:
Every health problem has its own context. If you are hesitant about what is best for you, arrange a consultation. Our doctors will walk you through the situation and recommend a course of action that makes sense — professionally, sensitively, without unnecessary stress.
With these tumors, a hereditary cause is common. Therefore, genetic testing is recommended for each child, which can help to better understand the disease and choose the most appropriate treatment.
Symptoms depend on the type of tumor. For example, it can be high blood pressure, palpitations, sudden mood swings, signs of early adolescence or unusual changes in body appearance. Each type of tumor manifests itself a little differently.
Treatment depends on the specific type of tumor and the general condition of the child. The most common step is surgical removal of the tumor. In some cases, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiation therapy are also necessary.
Since these tumors are rare and often aggressive, the child should always be treated in a specialized center by experienced specialists who have practice with these diagnoses.
