Adrenal ganglioneuromas are rare tumors. Although benign in nature, radiographic features are non-diagnostic and can be suspicious for malignant tumors, necessitating surgical adrenalectomy for histopathologic diagnosis. Most are discovered incidentally, and are hormonally inactive. Workup to exclude functional tumors is warranted. We describe a case of a 58-year-old female patient with an adrenal ganglioneuroma masquerading as a suspicious adrenal incidentaloma on imaging.
肾上腺神经节细胞瘤是罕见肿瘤。虽然本质上是良性的,但其影像学特征并无诊断特异性,可能会被怀疑为恶性肿瘤,因此需要进行肾上腺切除术以获得组织病理学诊断。大多数肾上腺神经节细胞瘤是偶然发现的,且无激素活性。有必要进行检查以排除功能性肿瘤。我们描述了一例58岁女性患者,其肾上腺神经节细胞瘤在影像学上表现为可疑的肾上腺偶发瘤。
