Extra-adrenal composite pheochromocytoma-ganglioneuroma.
Composite tumors containing pheochromocytoma and ganglioneuroma are rare tumors typically arising in the adrenal glands. Very few were reported outside of the adrenals. We present the case of a middle-aged woman with a retroperitoneal mass that was discovered when she complained of local signs of compression and systemic signs of catecholamine hypersecretion. On pathology the mass was composed ...

متن کاملChildhood neuroblastoma masquerading as pheochromocytoma: case report.
Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. Mild hypertension is a frequent symptom, presumably an effect of catecholamines that tumors release. Reported herein is the rare occurrence of severe hypertension and subsequent heart failure attributable to adrenal gland neuroblastoma. A 3-year-old boy presented with anterior chest wall protrusion. Physical examination reve...
متن کاملSurvivors of neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma and their families.
The main purpose of this study was to see if the offspring of surviving neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma, or ganglioneuroma patients have themselves a risk for developing tumours. No such risk was found. There was a total of 45 liveborn children who were all healthy. These children have passed through about 37 lifetimes of risk for developing neuroblastoma and about six lifetimes of risk for...
