A majority of these tumours are clinically silent and discovered on imaging for unrelated reasons. Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) is an endocrine disorder characterised by bilateral polycystic ovaries, anovulation leading to infertility, irregular menstrual cycles and features of androgen hormone excess. Herein we report a rare case of adrenal ganglioneuroma in a 14-year-old girl with PCOD. She was referred to us by the gynaecologist after incidental detection of adrenal mass on ultrasonography. Except for raised 24\u2005h urinary metanephrines, rest of the hormones measured were in normal range. Transperitoneal adrenalectomy was performed and histopathology was suggestive of ganglioneuroma. Postoperative recovery was excellent and she is doing well. To our knowledge it is the first such type of case to be reported.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2013-201211","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,21]],"date-time":"2013-10-21T10:07:44Z","timestamp":1382350064000},"page":"bcr2013201211","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Adrenal ganglioneuroma in a patient with polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD): a rare association"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"2013","author":[{"given":"Arvind","family":"Kumar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, King George Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vishwajeet","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, King George Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Satyanarayan","family":"Sankhwar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, King George Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suresh","family":"Babu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, King George Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082804011561000_2013.oct21_1.bcr2013201211.1","first-page":"487","article-title":"Laparoscopic resection of large adrenal ganglioneuroma","volume":"2013","author":"Zografos","year":"2007","journal-title":"JSLS"},{"key":"2025082804011561000_2013.oct21_1.bcr2013201211.2","first-page":"29","article-title":"Neurogenic tumors in the abdomen: tumor types and imaging characteristics","volume":"2013","author":"Rhas","year":"2003","journal-title":"Radiographics"},{"key":"2025082804011561000_2013.oct21_1.bcr2013201211.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"911","DOI":"10.1148\/radiographics.22.4.g02jl15911","article-title":"From the archives of the AFIP\u2014neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma, and ganglioneuroma: radiologic-pathologic correlation","volume":"2013","author":"Lonergan","year":"2002","journal-title":"Radiographics"},{"key":"2025082804011561000_2013.oct21_1.bcr2013201211.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"99","DOI":"10.1016\/j.surg.2010.03.016","article-title":"Adrenal ganglioneuromas: incidentalomas with misleading clinical and imaging features","volume":"2013","author":"Linos","year":"2011","journal-title":"Surgery"},{"key":"2025082804011561000_2013.oct21_1.bcr2013201211.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"854","DOI":"10.1016\/j.surg.2009.11.010","article-title":"Adrenal ganglioneuroma: a 10-year experience in a Chinese population","volume":"2013","author":"Qing","year":"2010","journal-title":"Surgery"},{"key":"2025082804011561000_2013.oct21_1.bcr2013201211.6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"297","DOI":"10.4174\/jkss.2011.80.4.297","article-title":"Adrenal ganglioneuromas with hepatic metastasis","volume":"2013","author":"Jung","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Korean Surg Soc"},{"key":"2025082804011561000_2013.oct21_1.bcr2013201211.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"133","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anndiagpath.2009.06.007","article-title":"Ganglioneuroma of adrenal gland in a patient with Turner syndrome","volume":"2013","author":"Kamoun","year":"2010","journal-title":"Ann Diagn Pathol"}],"container-title":["BMJ Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/syndication.highwire.org\/content\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2013-201211","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,28]],"date-time":"2025-08-28T11:01:24Z","timestamp":1756378884000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/casereports.bmj.com\/lookup\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2013-201211"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,21]]},"references-count":7,"alternative-id":["10.1136\/bcr-2013-201211"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/bcr-2013-201211","relation":{},"ISSN":["1757-790X"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"1757-790X"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,21]]}}}
