ABSTRACT = {Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare tumors with 
varying clinical presentations. We describe the case of an 
11-year-old female presenting with Cushingoid features 
in the setting of a left-sided flank mass. Her presentation 
and evaluation suggested a paraneoplastic ectopic ACTH syndrome. She underwent open left radical nephrectomy 
and final pathology confirming a high-grade NET with 
nodal metastasis. Although exceedingly rare, ACTH-secreting tumors of the kidney can cause significant 
morbidity and mortality and so we recommend it be 
included in the differential diagnosis of pediatric renal 
masses.},
