-Abstract-
Neuroblastoma, a tumor of the peripheral nervous system, is the most common
extracranial solid tumor of childhood. Neurogenic tumor which includes neuroblastoma is
classified into neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma according to
cytologic differentiation. Many cases of ganglioneuroblastoma which is the most rare
tumor of neurogenic tumors have been reported during past few decades in U.S and
European literature. However, in Korea, only 3 cases of ganglioneuroblastoma in adult
have been reported. Recently, we experienced a case of ganglioneuroblastoma which was
initially misdiagnosed as pancreatic cystic neoplasm by imaging study. A 27-year-old
male patient admitted our hospital with chief complaint of left upper quadrant discomfort
and intermittent vomiting. Imaging studies, such as abdominal sonogram, abdominal
computed tomography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopan creatography and angiogram
revealed a cystic mass in pancreatic tail portion. The patient underwent mass excision,
left nephrectomy and adrenalectomy. Diagnosis of ganglioneuroblastoma of adrenal origin
was made on the basis of its histopathologic findings.
