Zusammenfassung: | Neuroblastoma, a tumor of the peripheral nervous system, is the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood. Neurogenic tumor which includes neuroblastoma is classified into neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma according to cytologic differentiation. Many cases of ganglioneuroblastoma which is the most rare tumor of neurogenic tumors have been reported during past few decades in U. S and European literature. However, in Korea, only 3 cases of ganglioneuroblastoma in adult have been reported. Recently, we experienced a case of ganglioneuroblastoma which was initially misdiagnosed as pancreatic cystic neoplasm by imaging study. A 27-year-old male patient admitted our hospital with chief complaint of left upper quadrant discomfort and intermittent vomiting. Imaging studies, such as abdominal sonogram, abdominal computed tomography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopan creatography and angiogram revealed a cystic mass in pancreatic tail portion. The patient underwent mass excision, left nephrectomy and adrenalectomy. Diagnosis of ganglioneuroblastoma of adrenal origin was made on the basis of its histopathologic findings.
