ABSTRACT

Embryologically, chromaffin cells of the pheo-chromocytoma and ganglion cells of the ganglioneuroma are both derived from neural crest cells. Composite pheochromocytoma-ganglioneuroma (Pheo-GN) in a single adrenal gland is very rare. A case report of a patient with composite Pheo-GN of the adrenal gland and renal pelvic cancer is presented. Laparoscopic left adrenalectomy, nephroureterectomy and para-aortic lymphadenectomy were performed. This represents the first report of simultaneous surgical treatment for composite Pheo-GN and renal pelvic cancer.
