Abstract
Adrenal ganglioneuromas are rare benign and non-secretory neoplasms that, in the majority of cases, are unexpectedly discovered during imaging studies. In this study, we reported a large adrenal ganglioneuromas in a young patient, clinically presented as a pheochromocytoma. Laboratory evaluation and tumor markers were also reported in the normal range. The mass was then resected through laparoscopy. Ultimately, histopathology revealed the diagnosis of Ganglioneuroma. Large adrenal ganglioneuromas can be resected laparoscopically without any complications. An accurate pathological examination is usually essential for definitive diagnosis. Prognosis of mature adrenal ganglioneuromas is excellent.
