Adrenal Ganglioneuromas are rare. Evaluation for hormone secretion followed by complete excision is the treatment of choice for such masses. We present our experience of a symptomatic large Adrenal Ganglioneuroma, which was removed with laparoscopic procedure. A 44-year gentleman presented with a symptomatic adrenal tumor. Under the impression of Adrenal Pheochromocytoma, tumor was excised laparoscopically without any untoward event. And to our surprise Adrenal Ganglioneuroma was detected in biopsy. Hence, Ganglioneuromas should be considered as a differential for a functional or symptomatic adrenal mass. And by following proper technique even such large functional adrenal masses can be removedlaparoscopically.
