Adrenal Ganglioneuroma: A Rare Tumor of the Autonomic Nervous System.

Ganglioneuromas (GNs) are benign, differentiated tumors that are derived from neural crest sympathogonia. They can be found anywhere in the body along autonomic ganglia. These tumors are seen most often in individuals over 10 years of age and are usually asymptomatic. However, GNs can grow large and cause symptoms due to mass effect. GNs are rarely located within the suprarenal gland and are benign tumors that are often diagnosed late in their course due to mass effect or found incidentally on imaging studies. We describe a case of a 22-year-old female who presented to clinic with vague abdominal pain. She underwent an extensive workup which ultimately revealed a rare presentation of a left suprarenal GN that required surgical removal. She underwent an extensive workup which ultimately revealed a left suprarenal GN that required surgical removal. The patient underwent laparotomy and surgical excision of the mass and made a full recovery.

Draft Genome Sequence of Bacillus cereus Strain BcFL2013, a Clinical Isolate Similar to G9241.

Bacillus cereus strains, such as G9241, causing anthrax-like illnesses have recently been discovered. We report the genome sequence of a clinical strain, B. cereus BcFL2013, which is similar to G9241, recovered from a patient in Florida.
