This report presents an adrenal ganglioneuroblastoma containing several kinds of neuronal peptides. The tumour was found in the autopsy case of a 3-year-old girl with clinical manifestation of intractable diarrhea, hypokalemia, achlorhydria, and with elevated levels of plasma vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). Immunoperoxidase staining showed many immunoreactive VIP- containing cells, some somatostatin-and substance P-containing cells on the tumour sections. Ultrastructurally, the tumour cells contained numerous secretory granules that could be divided mainly two types; one is a small cored vesicle (50-150 nm in diameter) and the other large electron dense secretory granule (200-500 nm in diameter). It was suggested that the cells in ganglioneuroblastoma derived from neural crest are closely related to the cells that could differentiate into gut-hormone-producing cells.
