Abstract
Ganglioneuromas (GNs) arising from neural crest sympathogonia are rare benign neurogenic tumors. The most commonly affected sites are the posterior mediastinum, the retroperitoneum and the adrenal gland. 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.
