RESUMEN

A 67-year-old male demonstrated a right adrenal tumor at another hospital, and consulted our hospital for surgical treatment. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a 13 x 12 cm mass in the right adrenal region. Serum and urinary adrenaline levels were high, and the catecholamine levels in the blood sample of the selective adrenal vein were also high. The tumor was 1,325 g in weight and 13 x 9 x 18 cm in diameter. Pathological diagnosis was a mixed neuroendocrine-neural tumor. It was composed of pheochromocytoma and ganglioneuroma. This combination in the adrenal gland is rare. We reviewed 3 previously reported cases of composite pheochromocytoma with gangloineuroma in the adrenal gland in the Japanese literature, and this is considered to be the fourth case.
