title: [What to think about "asymptomatic" adrenal calcification? A case report with ganglioneuroblastoma].
abstract: The authors report on a case of a large triangular calcification of the left adrenal gland that was incidentally detected in a 6-year-old girl. After a 9 month follow-up, the urinary levels of VMA and HVA and 131I MIBG scintigraphy were the determining factors for diagnosing a ganglioneuroblastoma and for subsequent choice of treatment.
