Computerized tomography accidentally revealed a huge retroperitoneal mass in a 53-year-old male. The mass was located between the liver and the right kidney. Laboratory tests including endocrinological studies were done but the diagnosis was not clearly confirmed before operation. The specimen weighed 410 g, was 12.5 X 8 X 5 cm and did not show any evidence of malignant degeneration histologically. Fourteen cases of the ganglioneuroma of the adrenal gland including our were accumulated from the Japanese literature. A review of the literature showed that cases of this tumor widely ranged from 1 to 65 years of ages, and its incidence was over twice higher in females than in males. Mainly the abdominal mass was the only symptom in these cases. The tumors were generally so well encapsulated that they could be removed completely.
计算机断层扫描意外发现一名53岁男性患有巨大的腹膜后肿块。该肿块位于肝脏和右肾之间。进行了包括内分泌学研究在内的实验室检查，但术前诊断尚未明确证实。标本重410克，大小为12.5×8×5厘米，组织学上未显示任何恶性变的迹象。包括我们的病例在内，从日本文献中积累了14例肾上腺神经节瘤病例。文献回顾显示，该肿瘤病例的年龄范围广泛，从1岁到65岁不等，女性发病率比男性高出两倍多。这些病例中主要症状是腹部肿块。肿瘤通常包膜完整，可以完全切除。
