BACKGROUND Ganglioneuromas are benign neoplasms of the neural crest, occurring rarely in the adrenal glands. This study presents our experience regarding diagnostic and therapeutic management of these neoplasms and a review of the relevant literature. METHODS Among 150 patients with of incidentalomas, we had 7 primary ganglioneuromas. Their clinical, imaging, and operative data were collected...

It has become increasingly apparent that evaluation of human norepinephrine metabolism simply by assay of catecholamines in urine is inadequate for differentiation of many physiological or pathological states. In an attempt to examine norepinepherine metabolism in the human subject, tritium-labeled d,l-norepinephrine was administered to 11 normal adults and the definitive turnover rates and rel...

The main primary childhood renal neo-plasms are nephroblastoma, mesoblastic ne-phroma, clear cell sarcoma, and rhabdoid tumour. Other primary renal neoplasms include primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET), renal cell carcinoma, and angiomy-olipoma. Nephroblastoma is the most common renal tumour in children.
