A Sizeable Adrenal Ganglioneuroma: A Case Report.

Adrenal ganglioneuromas are mostly asymptomatic, although they may manifest with compressive local effects. We present a 27-year-old man with no medical history who was referred to the surgical oncology clinic due to the incidental finding of a left adrenal mass. The initial computed tomography (CT) abdomen revealed a large mass causing displacement of adjacent organs. A CT-guided biopsy was inconclusive, and further evaluation with an NM endo-adrenal (MIBG) medullary scan pointed to a possible diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. Laboratory tests showed normal levels of urinary metanephrine and normetanephrine. The patient's history revealed chronic abdominal pain, with no symptoms of hypertension, headache, palpitations, or sweating. Subsequently, the patient underwent a left adrenalectomy without complications. This case underscores the importance of a comprehensive approach in managing adrenal masses, particularly when dealing with non-specific symptoms, emphasizing the importance of timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
