ABSTRACT
A right adrenal gland mass was found during sonographic examination of the right upper quadrant during a workup for hyperemesis gravidarum. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to clarify the origin of the mass. The tumor was nonfunctional. Because of the possibility of a malignancy, the patient underwent a successful second-trimester exploratory laparatomy with right adrenalectomy. Pathology demonstrated a benign ganglioneuroma.

A retrospective analysis of all testicular tumors treated at our institution over a seven-year period was conducted. Twenty-five of 115 patients were found to have acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), AIDS-related complexes, or to be at risk for AIDS developing. Non-seminomatous germ cell tumors were more common in the AIDS group.
