PRIMARY ADRENAL GANGLIONEUROBLASTOMA IN AN ADULT

We present here a case of adrenal incidentaloma in a 35-year-old male. Imaging technology including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) clarifi ed that the tumor was heterogeneous, and large in size (9x7 cm), and t hat it originated from the left adrenal gland, MRI scans on T1-weighte d sequence showed the tumor with a low signal intensity followed by ra pid contrast enhancement, whereas those on T2-weighted sequence showed markedly increased intensity, The tumor was surgically removed, and p athologic diagnosis was well-differentiated ganglioneuroblastoma. Gang lioneuroblastoma in adults is extremely rare, with only about 30 cases documented in people over the age of 20 years.
