Introduction Composite pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor, occurring in only 3% of pheochromocytomas. We report case composite with neurofibromatosis type 1. Case presentation A 42-year-old man was referred to our department for further evaluation an incidentally detected right adrenal tumor. He patient at another hospital The serum and urinary catecholamine levels exceeded the normal range. Abdo...

We report a case of ganglioneuroma with abnormal 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake. A 26-year-old woman presented to the hospital with a slowly growing abdominal tumor without symptoms. She was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in childhood and treated by surgery and chemotherapy. Computed tomography (CT) revealed huge retroperitoneal tumors and fused 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomog...

We report a case of a ganglioneuroma that was found incidentally on a CT of the abdomen in a 27-year-old woman with gastrointestinal symptoms. The tumor, though located in the posterior mediastinum, demonstrated an unusual feature of abundant adipose tissue on MR imaging. The mass was later resected, and adipose tissue intermixed within a ganglioneuroma was identified microscopically. Adipose t...

Parapharyngeal ganglioneuroma is a rare benign tumor, with fewer than 40 cases having been reported in the literature. We report a case of parapharyngeal ganglioneuroma in a child, including the presentation, diagnostic testing, treatment, outcome and a review of the literature. The patient presented with a large cervical mass arising from the cervical sympathetic chain. Complete excision of th...

Prostatic mesenchymal tumours are extremely uncommon benign tumors and very few cases have been published. Our case presented with diarrhea increased urinary frequency normal serum PSA levels. On multi-parametric MRI diffusely enlarging prostate loss of zonal anatomy possibility inflammatory etiology was suggested. Trus guided biopsies were reviewed, which followed by immunohistochemistry aided...

OBJECTIVE We report an extremely rare case of ganglioneuroma involving the external auditory canal and middle ear. CASE REPORT Ganglioneuromas are rare benign mature tumors thought to originate from sympathetic ganglions, with the highest incidence in the retroperitoneum, adrenal medulla, and posterior mediastinum. We present a case of ganglioneuroma of the external auditory canal and middle ...

The ganglioneuroma is a tumor of the sympathetic nervous system and may be associated with hypersecretion of vasoactive substances responsible for various symptoms and signs such as hypertension. The authors report a case of ganglioneuroma and a literature review, focusing on the most important aspects of diagnosis and therapy. The patient had recurrent symptomatic hypertensive crises, having p...

Composite pheochromocytoma-ganglioneuroma is extremely rare. We described two cases of composite pheochromocytomas in the adrenal medullar. Case 1 was a 70-year-old male presenting with lower abdominal pain and normal blood electrolytes. Case 2 was a 48-year-old female with palpitation and back tenderness. Biochemical investigations showed hypocalcium, hypokalemia and high level of vma. The his...

Retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma is a rare benign tumor, which is included in the neuroblastomas group. It can occur anywhere along the peripheral autonomic ganglion sites, and the tumor is often incidentally detected in asymptomatic patients or may produce symptoms related to the slow growing tumor. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and the prognosis is good. We report a case of retro...

Ganglioneuromas are rare, benign, slow-growing tumors originating from sympathetic ganglion cells. The most common locations are the posterior mediastinum and retroperitoneum. Pelvic ganglioneuroma is very rare. The case of a 12-year-old girl with presacral ganglioneuroma is reported. The importance of considering a confident preoperative diagnosis by fine-needle aspiration biopsy is stressed.
