Abstract
Ganglioneuroma (GN) is a rarely seen benign tumor originating from neural crest cells and consisting of ganglion and Schwann cells. Adrenal GNs occur most frequently in the fourth and fifth decades of life. They have an equal frequency in male and female patients and are usually found incidentally during imaging. It is not related to hormonal activity and is clinically asymptomatic. We aimed to present a 49-year-old female patient whose magnetic resonance image performed for abdominal pain was found a biochemically normal mass in the right adrenal gland and then was pathologically diagnosed as GN after right adrenalectomy.Keywords
