On imaging, usually, they present as well-defined solid masses and can be quite large at presentation. Generally, they are hypoattenuating to muscle on CT and have a heterogeneous intermediate signal on both T1 and T2-weighted MRI sequences. [radiopaedia.org]

• Asymptomatic

  CONCLUSION: AGN was asymptomatic in most cases and diagnosis may be challenging. Adrenalectomy is a safe treatment modality for AGN and ensures favorable outcomes when diagnosed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  GN do not secrete excess catecholamines or steroid hormones and are often clinically silent and asymptomatic even if they are large [ 2 ]. [hoajonline.com]

  Ganglioneuromas are usually asymptomatic and often discovered incidentally as they are slow growing and usually endocrinologically inactive 11. [radiopaedia.org]

• Pathologist

  In surgery, the tumor will be taken out and sent to a pathologist to confirm its nature and check for malignancy. [wisegeek.com]

  The pathologist examines the biopsy under a microscope and arrives at a definitive diagnosis after a thorough evaluation of the clinical and microscopic findings, as well as by correlating the results of special studies on tissues (if required) The studies [dovemed.com]

  Because this sort of thing is pretty rare, no fewer than four pathologists were involved in “ Dude, check this out .” Hey, I would have done the same. [jimcarson.com]

• Hepatomegaly

  Common presenting features include a palpable abdominal mass, hepatomegaly, and a thoracic mass detected on routine chest X-ray. Ganglioneuroma features also observed in composite phaeochromocytomas or paragangliomas. [codes.iarc.fr]

• Long Arm

  Interestingly, also structural chromosome aberrations like MYCN amplifications, deletions at the chromosomal regions 1p36.3, or 11q, gains of long arms of chromosome 17, can be found in near-triploid tumours. [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]

• Visual Impairment

  Paraganglioma in children is extremely rare, and its production of catecholamine causes hypertension, headache, and/or acute visual impairment. [dl.ndl.go.jp]

• Suggestibility

  However, some suggestive features on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are helpful in achieving a correct diagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
