Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Ganglioneuroblastoma is commonly observed in children but rarely in adults. Therapy and prognosis are not well defined in adults.
CASE REPORT: We report the case of a female adult who developed a ganglioneuroblastoma of the left adrenal gland with liver metastasis. Surgical treatment combined with radio and chemotherapy led to complete remission.
DISCUSSION: The outcome in our patient and data reported in the literature suggest that a multidisciplinary approach is necessary and that initial surgical resection should be performed whenever possible. Adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy have been shown to be somewhat effective in children but their true impact in adults remains to be ascertained. Follow-up after resection should include physical examination, assay of adrenal derivatives in plasma and urine and imaging.
