Abstract

Within the tumoral processes of the adrenal gland, there are functional ones and non-functional ones. Many of the non-functional ones are called incidentalomas because they are found during a study of the abdominal cavity – abdominal ultrasound and computerized axial tomography. They are an infrequent condition. The case of an 18-year-old woman with a diagnosis of ganglioneuroblastoma is reported. The clinical and imaging findings are reported. The incidence, diagnosis and treatment are reviewed.
