| Abstrakt: | This report presents the case of a 62-year-old male with an incidentally discovered adrenal mass, ultimately diagnosed as a ganglioneuroma after laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Imaging findings, of a 9 cm lobulated mass with heterogeneous enhancement on MRI, were unspecific and malignancy could not be excluded. Histological examination of the specimen revealed a well-demarcated tumor composed of Schwann cells and ganglion cells, confirming the diagnosis. Postoperative follow-up showed no recurrence. This case highlights the critical role of histopathological evaluation for definitive diagnosis, as imaging alone may be insufficient to distinguish adrenal ganglioneuroma from other potential malignancies due to its nonspecific radiological features.
