[Adrenal ganglioneuroma. Report of a new case].

Ganglioneuroma is a benign neoplasm arising from neural crest tissue and is composed of mature ganglion cells and Schwann's cells. Most ganglioneuromas arise in the posterior mediastinum followed by the retroperitoneum. Only a small proportion of ganglioneuromas are adrenal in origin and occur most commonly in children and young adults. Characteristically, ganglioneuromas do not secrete excess catecholamines or steroid hormones, and they are usually clinically silent lesions incidentally detected in imaging studies for unrelated reasons. Because it is an uncommon lesion, adrenal ganglioneuromas is not included in the differential diagnosis of adrenal incidentalomas in adults. We presents a new case of a 6.5 cm adrenal ganglioneuroma incidentally diagnosed in a 50-year old male patient. The exeresis of the adrenal mass and pathohistological study confirmed the diagnosis.

[Penile cancer. Review of 18 cases].

INTRODUCTION: Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common tumor of the penis. Nodal metastases are relatively common, but distant disemmination is very rare. MATERIAL AND METHODS: From 1990 to 2002, we diagnosed and treated 18 cases of carcinoma of the penis. The minimum follow-up was 2 years (range 2-11 years; mean 49 months). Treatment of the primary lesion is usually by partial amputation of the penis, which enables us to determine the pathological stage and the histological grade of the tumor and, consequently, our approach to the regional lymph nodes. RESULTS: Palpable inguinal nodes after antibiotherapy remained in six out of seven patients. Inguinal lymphadenectomy was performed early in 4 cases. Postoperative complications were present in the 4 cases, lymphedema being the most frequent one (100%). CONCLUSIONS: The T and the histological grade of the primary lesion must be considered when deciding the approach in the management of the lymph nodes as unneccesary lymphadenectomy can be avoided and those at high risk of lymph node invasion can be treated radically and timely.
