Incidentally found retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma in an adult.

The ganglioneuroma is a very rare tumor arising from sympathetic nerve system. An asymptomatic retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma was found incidentally in a 35-year-old woman. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging showed a retroperitoneal mass extending to the left adrenal gland, and surrounding abdominal aorta, celiac axis, left renal and adrenal arteries, and veins. The tumor was resected and histologic examination showed ganglioneuroma.
