“…However, elevated VMA in the urine was not found in our case. Primary lymphoma rarely occurs in the adrenal gland, unilaterally or bilaterally, [9] and the incidence of primary lymphoma was 25%. [10] Contrast-enhanced CT indicates homogeneous enhancement and necrosis is seldom found in most tumors, which was different from the inhomogeneous enhancement in our case.…”

Primary adrenal sarcomatoid carcinoma is rare malignant tumor with the characteristics of carcinoma and sarcoma. To date, only one case of primary sarcomatoid carcinoma in the adrenal gland was reported. We present here computed tomography appearance and pathological features of the case with primary adrenal sarcomatoid carcinoma confirmed by pathology. In addition, a brief review of the relevant literature is presented.

“…9 Guo and colleagues 10 found that an abdomen CT revealed varied appearances, ranging from predominantly solid mass to predominantly cystic mass with a few thin strands of solid tissue; this variation depends on the number of ganglion cells, their degree of differentiation, and their relationship to immature elements. The authors also believed that magnetic resonance imaging was superior to CT in the detection of diffuse metastases, and these metastases manifested as areas of high signal intensity on T2-weighted images.…”

Ganglioneuroblastoma is an uncommon malignant tumour, and it is extremely rare in adults. A 27-year-old woman was admitted to hospital complaining of commitment left loin pain for 7 months accompanied with fever for 1 day. Computed tomography (CT) scan shows a huge cystic solid mass among the rear of the pancreatic body and tail, inside of the spleen, and the top of the left kidney. Hormone examinations showed that the serum levels of glucocorticoid, aldosterone, norepinephrine, and epinephrine were normal. However, neuron-specific enolase (NSE) was significantly higher (289.46 ng/mL, normal level <16.3 ng/mL). Adrenal mass resection was scheduled. However, intraoperative separation was very difficult and adrenal tumour resection, resection of the pancreatic body and tail, left nephrectomy, and splenectomy were carried out. Pathological diagnosis was ganglioneuroblastoma.

“…Adrenal ganglioneuroma could present as a large tumor up to 20 cm despite of its benign nature [ 14 ]. Calcifi cation is a common fi nding in adrenal ganglioneuroma [ 15 ]. Ganglioneuroma usually occurs in adults (90 %) rather than children (10 %) [ 5 ].…”
