It arises mainly from the large sympathetic chains, most frequently in the posterior mediastinum and retroperitoneum, but rarely may develop from the peripheral sympathetic chains. It is usually benign, and may grow asymptomatically to relatively large size. However, it can cause symptoms due to ...

متن کاملA case of retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma.
We describe a rare case of a primary retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma that was found accidentally during preoperative examinations conducted due to a suspicion of ovarian cancer. Computerized tomography was not able to differentiate the retroperitoneal mass from an adrenal tumor. We diagnosed the retroperitoneal tumor by means of selective adrenal angiography.
متن کاملDopamine-secreting adrenal ganglioneuroma presenting with paroxysmal hypertension attacks.
Adrenal ganglioneuromas are rare tumors originating from the neural crest tissue of the sympathetic nervous system. The clinical presentation for most patients is asymptomatic, and most of these tumors are hormone silent. We report a case of dopamine-secreting adrenal ganglioneuroma associated with paroxysmal hypertensive attacks in an adult patient. A 46-year-old woman was admitted to our hosp...
