Abstract

The adrenal tumor arising from the peripheral sympathetic nervous system is rare in adults.
About 100 cases of neuroblastoma in adults and about 20 cases of ganglioneuroma of the adrenal have been reported in Japan.
Here, two cases of a 36-year-old man with neuroblastoma (rosette formation type) of the left adrenal and a 44-year-old man with ganglioneuroma of the right adrenal are reported.
