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.
神经节神经瘤（GNs）是起源于神经嵴交感神经原细胞的良性、分化型肿瘤。它们可沿自主神经节在身体的任何部位被发现。这些肿瘤最常见于10岁以上的个体，通常无症状。然而，神经节神经瘤可因占位效应而增大并引起症状。神经节神经瘤很少位于肾上腺内，是良性肿瘤，常因占位效应在病程晚期才被诊断出来，或在影像学检查时偶然发现。我们描述了一例22岁女性患者，她因腹部隐痛前来就诊。她接受了全面的检查，最终发现了一例罕见的左肾上腺神经节神经瘤，需要手术切除。她接受了全面的检查，最终发现了一个需要手术切除的左肾上腺神经节神经瘤。患者接受了剖腹手术并切除了肿块，最终完全康复。
