Abstract Background The main challenge in the management of indeterminate incidentally discovered adrenal tumours is to differentiate benign from malignant lesions. In the absence of clear signs of invasion or metastases, imaging techniques do not always precisely define the nature of the mass. The present pilot study aimed to determine whether radiomics may predict malignancy in adrenocortical tumours. Methods CT images in unenhanced, arterial, and venous phases from 19 patients who had undergone resection of adrenocortical tumours and a cohort who had undergone surveillance for at least 5 years for incidentalomas were reviewed. A volume of interest was drawn for each lesion using dedicated software, and, for each phase, first-order (histogram) and second-order (grey-level colour matrix and run-length matrix) radiological features were extracted. Data were revised by an unsupervised machine learning approach using the K-means clustering technique. Results Of operated patients, nine had non-functional adenoma and 10 carcinoma. There were 11 patients in the surveillance group. Two first-order features in unenhanced CT and one in arterial CT, and 14 second-order parameters in unenhanced and venous CT and 10 second-order features in arterial CT, were able to differentiate adrenocortical carcinoma from adenoma (P < 0.050). After excluding two malignant outliers, the unsupervised machine learning approach correctly predicted malignancy in seven of eight adrenocortical carcinomas in all phases. Conclusion Radiomics with CT texture analysis was able to discriminate malignant from benign adrenocortical tumours, even by an unsupervised machine learning approach, in nearly all patients.

A 13-month-old boy with hepatoblastoma and hemihypertrophy is presented; this is the fifth known case with this association. Histological study showed that hemihypertrophy was related to cellular hyperplasia but not to hypertrophy of individual cells. Karyotypes of leukocytes and of skin fibroblasts from both sides of the body were normal. The association of hemihypertrophy and hepatoblastoma stresses the dysontogenetic origin of this neoplasm and signals the possibility of this tumor in children with asymmetry. Our patient showed cystathioninuria, which was related to the high content of cystathionine in his tumor. The presence of cystathioninuria in 7 of 10 patients with hepatoblastoma so far examined, shows the usefulness of urinary amino acid screening in the diagnosis of this rare childhood neoplasm.

Two cases of a syndrome of hemihypertrophy, shortness of stature, and elevated levels of urinary gonadotropins are reported. One of the children was a male, the other a female. The hemihypertrophy and shortness of stature had been present since birth and the elevated gonadotropins were found at 5½ and 6 years, respectively. The possible relationship to other conditions in childhood including those which also have increased gonadotropins is discussed.
