“…The majority of previous studies concerning AGNs have been case reports, and information regarding the pathogenesis of the disease is limited. The establishment of a guideline for clinicians has proven extremely challenging, and therefore, AGNs are often misdiagnosed as a different type of tumor (8,9). The present study describes a large AGN that was incidentally identified in a 58-year-old female.…”

Primary adrenal tumors are less commonly encountered in clinic. They may be functional/non-functional and noted incidentally when investigating for other problems. However there is no study available in Asian countries, and especially India regarding the incidence and natural history of these tumors. We carried out a study on adrenal tumors noted in our set-up for last five years to document the prevalence of adrenal tumors, their presentation along with the most common tumor followed by incidence of other tumors and their clinical and pathological presentation. This was a retrospective study in our hospital from June 2006 to 2011. 29 adrenalectomies performed over 5 years. Their clinical presentation and investigations were recorded and analyzed. Adrenal tumors accounted for 0.6% of total surgical specimens, 18 out of 29 belonged to males. Majority (85.2%) of the patients were adults with mean age, 39.8 years. Majority (79.3%) had presented with symptoms, incidentalomas were found in 20.7% patients out of which 2 belonged to potential kidney donors. Nonfunctioning tumors were noted in 58.6% patients. Pheochromocytoma was the commonest tumor noted in 68.9% followed by adrenal cortical adenoma in 13.7%, carcinoma in 6.9% and lipoma, myelolipoma and ganglioneuroma, 3.45% each. All the patients are doing well over a mean follow-up of 2.5 years. To our knowledge this is the first study on incidence and natural history of primary adrenal tumors which are less commonly encountered and usually have good prognosis.

“…Because imaging procedures such as ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) have become prevalent, the number of incidentally identified adrenal GNs has recently increased (4)(5)(6). Adrenal GN is usually hormonally silent, and can therefore asymptomatic even when the size of tumor is large (6)(7)(8)(9).…”

We herein report the case of a 41-year-old male patient with an incidentally identified large adrenal ganglioneuroma (GN). His endocrine examinations were normal except for one episode of elevated urinary dopamine and noradrenaline levels. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a large solid tumor with calcifications and a slightly lobular edge in the right adrenal gland. We performed open tumor excision and diagnosed it as adrenal ganglioneuroma. Adrenal GN is a rare benign tumor, and its hormonal activity and imaging characteristics are occasionally very similar to those of other adrenal tumors. Therefore, it needs careful evaluation by endocrine examinations and multiple imaging procedures to rule out other types of tumors.
