Text Extraction
Acase of a 2 year–old baby that arrived with a general toxic syndrome, fever, polyarthralgias and dis-
seminated skin eruption compatible with acne fulminans is reported.
Physical examination also showed different signs of virilization, with early isosexual pseudopuberty. Lab tests
corroborated hyperandrogenization. Clinical features were caused by a suprarenal carcinoma that remitted
when the neoplasia was erradicated through surgery.
