The adrenal ganglioneuroma was rare benign tumor that arise from mature sympathetic ganglion cells, located within the substance of the adrenal medulla or along the sympathetic chain. It may secrete catecholamines, represent endocrine symptoms. Nonfunctional growths remain silent until they reach large size. They are usually discovered incidentally. Herein we report a case of left adrenal ganglioneuroma that was incidentally discovered.

Pheochromocytoma is relatively uncommon disease that is mostly originated from adrenal medulla. Most of pheochromocytoma are benign, and malignant pheochromocytoma are very rate. A case of malignant pheochromocytoma from the right adrenal gland in a 28 year old woman was successfully treated with surgical intervention. This is a rare malignant pheochromocytoma case report with review of literatures.

Pheochromocytoma stems from the chromaffin cell and mostly is located in the adrenal medulla. It is an important cause of secondary hypertension due to correction of hypertension by a resection of the tumor. Because it produces and secretes catecholamine, it bothers anesthesiologists with excessive hypertension, tachycardia and arrhythmia during the anesthetic period. Therefore, anesthetic management is directed to avoid these conditions. We report a case of bilateral pheochromocytoma successfully managed intraoperatively with an infusion of nicardipine and an intermittent esmolol injection.

Ganglioneuroma is generally considered to be the benign mature from of tumor arising from neural crest tissue. The great chain of sympathetic ganglia including the adrenal medulla accounts for the origin of most of ganglioneuroma. Complete surgical excision of adrenal ganglioneuroma is the treatment of choice. Herein we report a cases of adrenal ganglioneuroma in a 17-year-old male which is confirmed by surgical exploration and histopathologic examination.

Ganglioneuroma is generally considered to be a benign tumor arising from neural crest tissue. An adrenal ganglioneuroma is located within the substance of the adrenal medulla or along the sympathetic chain, thus may secrete catecholamines, and present with endocrine symptoms. However, nonfunctional growths remain silent until they reach a large size, and are usually discovered incidentally. Complete surgical excision of adrenal ganglioneuroma is the treatment of choice, and especially a laparoscopic adrenalectomy can be performed safely, and is an ideal substitute to an open procedure, with the added benefits associated with minimally invasive surgery. Herein, we report a case of an incidentally discovered adrenal ganglioneuroma.

The features of the symptoms, laboratory tests and pathological characteristics of adrenal cortical and medullary hyperplasia were studied. In 6 cases of hypercatecholaminenia, plasma norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (E), catecholamine (CA) and 24-h urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), 17-hydroxycorticosteroid (OHCS) and 17-ketosteroid (KS) were determined. Adrenal glands were examined by CT scan and 131I-MIBG imaging. Pathological examination was performed after operation. The results showed that in 6 cases of hypercatecholaminenia (3 men and 3 women) aged from 34-50 years, the clinical features were just like "pheochromocytoma", for example, episodic headache, perspiration, palpitation, pallor, apprehension, nausea, tremor, anxiety and so on. Plasma levels of CA, NE and E were elevated in all 6 cases. 24-h urinary samples obtained at the onset revealed elevated VMA in 1 case. 24-h urinary cortisol was obviously elevated in all 6 cases. 24-h urinary 17-OHCS, 17-KS was normal. B-type ultrasound, CT, MRI and 131I-MIBG revealed 9 lateral adrenal gland diffuse or nodular enlargement in 6 cases. Pathologic examination showed adrenal cortical and medullary hyperplasia. Clinically, adrenal cortical and medullary hyperplasia resembled "pheochromocytoma". The most significant feature of this disease was both elevated plasma CA and 24-h urinary cortisol obviously. Pathologic examination showed adrenal cortex nodular hyperplasia and medullar diffuse or limit hyperplasia. Whether it is an independent disease or symptoms of the other disease has not final conclusion up till now.

Extraadrenal pheochromocytomas developed from the paraganglia other than adrenal medulla are uncommon tumors. Such lesions have been reported that as much as 10% of retroperitoneal paragliomas arise outside the adrenal gland. But their incidence and prognosis are changing partly as a result of progression in developmental mechanism, diagnostic tools and concepts including ultrastructure, immunohistochemistry. The ultrastructure of chromaffine neoplasm from adrenal and extraadrenal tissues has been studied with chrarnaffine granule specificity and type of catecholamine content. With rare exceptions, extraadrenal chrornaffine tumor mainly has high concentration of norepinephrine which is suggested as dict relationship to numoruos electrone dense granular bodies in the cell cytoplasrn. High or intermediate level of epinephrine in tissue is associated with cytoplasmic granular bodies of much less density, Recently we experienced the exception, a case of norepinephrine secreting pheochrom-ocytoma in the organ of Zuckerkandl with epinephrine granules in cytoplasm and this discrepancy probably due to the plasticity

Orbital neuroblastoma is the most common childhood metastatic malignant tumor almost always originating from the adrenal medulla; orbital primary origin is very rare. The authors experenced a case of orbital neuroblastoma. The patient was 3 year old Korean female child who was in apparently good health and no abnormalities noted of physical examminations when she developed ecchymosis of right lower lid. About two week later, she quickly developed a growing mass in the right lower orbital soft tissue. The mass was removed and his topathologically diagnosed as neuroblastoma. Radiotherapy was recommended. About 4 months bter, the patient was readmitted because of recurrence of orbital mass 3t the same site. At surgery, tumor was found invading inner and flooe wall of the orbital bone. The patient died of poor course of the disease, about one year after the onset of symptoms. It was suggested that this case was represented metastatic orbital neuroblastoma on histopathological base, but authors were unable to determine the primary site. A brief review of the related literatures is present.

10.A Case of Nonfunctioning Pheochromocytoma of the Bladder.

Pheochromocytoma originate from chromaffin cells and occur in the adrenal medulla in majority. About 10 per cent of pheochromocytomas can occur in the ectopic or extra-adrenal sites, anywhere along the fetal route of the chromaffin tissues. Pheochromocytoma of the bladder is a rare neoplasm that often occurs with the unique symptom complex of micturitional attacks, such as headache, palpitation, hypertension of sweating due to increased catecholamine secretion during detrusor activity. We report a very rare case of nonfunctioning pheochromocytoma of the bladder in a 67- year-old woman without typical symptoms. Preoperatively elevated urine catecholamines and their metabolites returned to normal after removal of the tumor.
