Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Adrenal ganglioneuroma (AGN) represents about 20% of the reported cases. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We present a 37-year-old man referred to our institution for a history of abdominal discomfort and a left adrenal solid mass incidentally discovered in CT abdominal scan (24 × 20 mm). Patient underwent laparoscopic surgical excision of the tumor. CONCLUSION: The histopathology examination showed areas of spindle cells and scattered mature ganglionic cells compatible with AGN.
