AN INTERESTING CASE OF DIFFERENTIATED NEUROBLASTOMA-GANGLIONEUROMA OF THE NECK IN A 5 YEAR OLD FEMALE CHILD
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 24
Abstract
Ganglioneuroma is a rare, benign, neuroblastic tumor arising mainly from the central or peripheral autonomic nervous system, especially the sympathetic system. The most affected anatomical sites are the posterior mediastinum, retroperitoneum, adrenal gland and head and neck (1). Tumour arises usually from the sympathetic trunk or rarely from the ganglion nodosum of vagus nerve. Here we report a case of 5 year old female child who presented with swelling over the left side of neck. The mass was excised and histopathologically and immunohistochemically diagnosed as ganglioneuroma.
