| Popis: | We report a case of retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma arising in the bilateral adrenal glands. A 29-year-old man was admitted because of abdominal pain. CT and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a retroperitoneal tumor 18cm in size in the right adrenal gland. The tumor surrounded the celiac artery and the superior mesenteric artery, and there was another similar tumor in the left adrenal gland. Needle biopsy specimens revealed ganglioneuroma. Partial resection of the tumor was performed and the left adrenal gland was preserved to keep the adrenal function. Although ganglioneuroma is a benign tumor, sometime we have difficulty to resect completely because it can grow involving major blood vessels. Close postoperative follow up is necessary. |
