Abstract
Ganglioneuromas (GNs) arising from neural crest sympathogonia are rare benign neurogenic tumors.

Here , we are presenting such a case in a 53-year old female patient with complaints of nonspecific, non-colic, intermittent pain, in the lumbar region predominantly on the left side. Clinically it was diagnosed as nerve sheath tumour or lipoma and surgery was done and confirmed by microscopic study. Keywords: Ganglioneuroma, lumbar region, asymptomatic.
