Diagnosis of adrenal ganglioneuroma in pregnancy with magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography. A case report.
A right adrenal gland mass was found during sonographic examination of the right upper quadrant during a workup for hyperemesis gravidarum. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to clarify the origin of the mass. The tumor was nonfunctional. Because of the possibility of a malignancy, the patient underwent a successful second-trimester exploratory laparatomy with right adrenalectomy. Pathology demonstrated a benign ganglioneuroma.
