RESUMEN

Ganglioneuromas is a rare benign neoplasm that originates from the sympathetic ganglia and the adrenal medulla. It belongs to the group of neurogenic tumors, which also include ganglioneuroblastoma and neuroblastoma. Most of them are asymptomatic and diagnosed by chance, rarely because of their hormonal activity or metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) uptake. We here report a case of adrenal ganglioneuroma secreting catecholamine. A 22-year old male presented with incidentally detected calcifications in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen. Abdominal CT and MRI revealed an about 8-cm adrenal mass with eggshell and punctuate calcifications. Increased urinary catecholamine metabolites and MIBG uptake in the tumor leaded to the preoperative diagnosis of adrenal pheochromocytoma. His blood pressure was normal and the typical symptoms of catecholamine excess were not observed during the admission period. Surgical resection and histologic examination of the tumor confirmed the diagnosis of ganglioneuroma originating from the left adrenal gland. Characteristic radiologic and histologic findings are presented with review of the literature.

RESUMEN

Adrenal incidentalomas are increasingly diagnosed with the widespread escalation in the use of high-tech imaging modalities and marked improvements in image resolution. However, several conditions can simulate a left adrenal mass as a result of the proximity of the left adrenal gland to the gastric fundus, spleen, first loops of the jejunum, and tail of the pancreas. We report a patient with a diverticulum of the gastric cardia that simulated a left adrenal mass. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such a case in Korean literature. Typical radiologic findings and clinical course are presented with reviews of the literature.
