The authors report a case of adrenal ganglioneuroma which was incidentally diagnosed performing preoperative examination for a sigmoid carcinoma. The authors took this finding as a starting point to underline the rarity of this condition and its chance discovery, this being due to the rare presence of signs and symptoms and its frequent association with other synchronous neoplasms; all this makes differential diagnosis rather difficult.

Abstract
The authors report a case of adrenal ganglioneuroma which was incidentally diagnosed performing preoperative examination for a sigmoid carcinoma. The authors took this finding as a starting point to underline the rarity of this condition and its chance discovery, this being due to the rare presence of signs and symptoms and its frequent association with other synchronous neoplasms; all this makes differential diagnosis rather difficult.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
