Rare Case of Metastatic Nodular Adrenal Ganglioneuroblastoma to Bone in a Young Female at Ibn Rochd University Hospital of Casablanca in Morocco

Ganglioneuroblastoma is a tumor belonging
to the family of neuroblastic tumours. Those are tumors
of the sympathetic nervous system.
Ganglioneuroblastoma is very rare in adults. We report
here a case of nodular ganglioneuroblastoma metastatic
to the bone in a 31-year-old woman who consulted for
pain in the right flank with, on the CT scan, a
voluminous and heterogeneous tissue formation of
lobulated contours. She underwent an adrenalectomy. A
postoperative radiological assessment showed osteolytic
lesions of the neck, left femoral metaphysis and bilateral
iliac wings. The patient was put on palliative
chemotherapy. She is currently under surveillance at 16
months of survival without new events.
Ganglioneuroblastomas are considered to have
intermediate metastatic potential.
