RESUMEN
Ganglioneuroblastoma (GNB), predominantly observed in children, is an uncommon malignant tumor in adults, with established treatment protocols notably lacking. The present study details the case of a 20-year-old woman who presented with a left adrenal gland mass, identified during a physical examination. Additionally, an unidentified mass was noted near the renal hilum in the preoperative evaluation. Following thorough preoperative preparation, both the primary adrenal gland mass and the renal hilar mass were surgically removed. The procedure concluded successfully. Pathological analysis confirmed that the left adrenal mass was a GNB and identified the renal hilar mass as a metastatic extension. Postoperative examination revealed a new formation at the original surgical site, later verified as a postoperative scar. Through the publication of a case report and extensive literature review, the present study aims to enhance our understanding of this condition, providing valuable diagnostic, therapeutic and post-recovery references for this rare adult disease.
