Ganglioneuromas are rare and account for 1% of primary retroperitoneal tumors.1,2 Their origin from sympathetic chain predisposes them to be inconveniently abutted to major vessels, rendering their excision exigent.1,2 We present a case of ganglioneuroma which had encased the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), which was excised, successfully, using the artery first approach.
