title: Large adrenal ganglioneuroma with left inferior vena cava: implications for surgery.
abstract: The contemporaneous occurrence of adrenal ganglioneuroma and left-sided inferior vena cava is uncommon and is previously never reported. We present a case wherein the two entities were fortuitously associated on preoperative imaging. This information facilitated successful surgical resection and avoided catastrophic vascular injury. A review of literature of the common venous anomaly affecting therapeutic decision-making is also presented.
