Childhood Endocrine Tumor Symptoms
Symptoms of childhood endocrine tumors will vary depending on the endocrine glands involved, and may vary from child to child. Some general symptoms may include:
- A painless lump (such as a neck mass)
- A specific problem caused by too little or too much hormone production
- An incidental finding when X-rays are obtained for another health condition
