PRIMARY ADRENAL GANGLIONEUROMA - CT FINDINGS IN 4 PATIENTS

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to characterize the appearanc e of adrenal ganglioneuroma on CT scans and to define the specific ima ging features of the tumor. CONCLUSION. Adrenal ganglioneuroma is an u ncommon benign tumor that is revealed as a solid adrenal mass on CT sc ans. Specific CT features such as calcification and lesion enhancement may simulate a primary adrenal carcinoma. However, in our four patien ts, no signs of local invasion or vascular extension were noted. The s pecific diagnosis of adrenal ganglioneuroma requires either biopsy or surgical removal for documentation.
