Abstract
- Ganglioneuroma is a rare benign neurogenic tumor arising from sympathetic ganglia. A case of paraspinal retro-peritoneal ganglioneuroma in a 39-year-old woman is described here. The patient underwent surgery with gross total removal of the tumor and relief of her initial chief complaint of backache and leg pain. We review the literature and discuss the clinical features and the histogenesis of ganglioneuroma.
