title: Retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma mimicking right adrenal mass.
abstract: Ganglioneuroma is a rare benign tumor of the sympathetic nervous system that can arise from the adrenal medulla. Few reports have been published of the surgical resection of this rare tumor using a laparoscopic approach. We present a case of retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma that mimicked an adrenal mass on imaging and was resected laparoscopically.
