Unveiling Adrenal Ganglioneuroma in a 6‐Year‐Old Boy: Imaging Insights and Minimally Invasive Treatment

Adrenal ganglioneuroma (AGN) is a rare benign neurogenic tumor originating from neural crest cells, particularly in pediatric populations. This is a case report of a 6‐year‐old boy with a 7‐day history of intermittent periumbilical abdominal pain, who was physically healthy and had no family genetic history. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a retroperitoneal mass, suggesting a neurogenic origin. Contrast‐enhanced CT suggested ganglioneuroma. The tumor was completely resected laparoscopically. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations confirmed the diagnosis of AGN. The patient recovered smoothly after surgery and had no recurrence or complications during the 6‐month follow‐up period. Through a combination of imaging features and pathological findings, this case aims to strengthen the understanding of the key points of early diagnosis of AGN and provide a reference for the formulation of clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies.
