- Review imaging characteristics of adrenal and retroperitoneal Ganglioneuromas. - Discuss pertinent imaging findings of these tumors, focusing on distinguishing features - Correlate cross-sectional imaging of these masses with clinical and pathologic findings.  

• Introduction • Imaging techniques • Imaging characteristics of Ganglioneuromas. • Review of pattern based approach • Correlate imaging findings with pathologic features SUMMARY Ganglioneuroma is a benign and rare entity and represents a diagnostic challenge. Familiarity with imaging characteristics of these tumors helps to increase the index of suspicion for diagnosis. Certain imaging features, associated findings, clinical presentation and laboratory findings may help differentiate these benign lesions from malignant adrenal and retroperitoneal masses. Based on a comprehensive review of 22 pathologically proven cases presented to our institution, we demonstrate the clinical, pathological and imaging features of this uncommon lesion.
