ARP Case Report nº 25: Bilateral Adrenal Ganglioneuroma - A Rare Cause of Retroperitoneal Mass

Abstract

A 22-year-old female, previously healthy, without alcohol or smoking habits, was referred to our hospital after an emergency appendectomy in October 2019 at Centro Hospitalar da Cova da Beira (CHCB). During appendectomy, surgeons found a retroperitoneal mass. There was no previous knowledge of this retroperitoneal mass, and the patient had never had any abdominal symptoms before. Abdominal and pelvic computed tomography was initially performed to better characterize the mass, followed by magnetic resonance.
