“…Visceral involvement by a ganglioneuromatous process may be diffuse or localized. Rarely, have ganglioneuromas been observed in the tongue, prostate, skin, bone, spermatic cord, heart, and intestine [2,3]. Ganglioneuromas mainly occur in patients who are younger than 10 years of age, but they are also seen in adults [1].…”

“…Ganglioneuroblastomas occur in infants and young children and histologically, they contain primitive neuroblasts, along with mature ganglion cells [2]. Subepithelial nerve plexuses also have similar histological appearances, with aggregates of nerve plexuses and ganglion cells, but these are usually seen in the lateral border of tongue, which clinically present as erythematous patches or ulcers.…”

“…[2][3][4] The current paper presents a 49-year-old male patient with a ganglioneuroma arising from right trigeminal ganglion and extending to the middle-posterior cranial fossa. We summarized the clinical and diagnostic characteristics of this extremely rare tumor, in comparison with the three reported cases in literatures.…”

CASE DESCRIPTIONA 49-year-old male patient with no previous comorbidities presented to our hospital with a main complaint of discontinuous dizziness for one month. The dizziness was paroxysmal onset without obvious cause. General physical examination demonstrated right facial muscle atrophic, with no other abnormality. All the neurologic examination was negative.Computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain discovered a slight hypodensity mass (4.2cm×5.2cm) in the right middle-posterior cranial fossa with internal high-density dots in the tumor (Fig. 1A). The tumor deformed the ethmoid bone, destroyed the greater wing of the sphenoid bone and the petrous apex area, and extended to the carvernous sinus and posterior cranial fossa. The pons was compressed. CT value of the spotty high-density was about 350HU, consistent with localized intratumoral calcification and hemorrhage. CT images in bone window demonstrated absorption and thinning of the sphenoid and ethmoid bone without destruction (Fig. 1B). The brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a 4.1cm×5.4cm×4cmwell-circumscribed extra-axial mass in the parasellar and cerebellopontine angle region of right middle-posterior cranial fossa (Fig. 2). The right fifth-sixth cranial nerve was displaced by the mass. The lesion demonstrated heterogeneous isointensity or slight hypointensity on T1-weighted image (T1WI), heterogeneous hyper-to slight hypointensity on T2-weighted image (T2WI) (Fig. 2A). It compressed G

“…On MRI, GN shows homogeneously low or intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted images; and heterogeneous slightly high-signal intensity on T2-weighted images. The heterogeneity on T2-weighted images depends on the amount of myxoid stroma, collagen fibers, and cellular components in the tumor (6)(7)(8) (Fig. 3).…”

We report a case of a dopamine-secreting giant primary adrenal ganglioneuroma (gn) in a 29-year-old male patient. although the patient was clinically silent, the 24-hour urine levels of dopamine, normetanephrine, homovanillic acid and vanillyl mandelic acid were elevated. abdominal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a large solid tumor with calcifications and a slightly lobular edge on the left adrenal gland. a tumor, 13 × 23 × 25 cm in size, was completely resected without morbidity. a 2-year follow-up with computed tomography showed that the postoperative course of the patient was uneventful.
