Tóm tắt

Introduction: Ganglioneuroma is a rare benign nervous tumor arising from sympathetic ganglion which commonly occurs at posterior mediastinum, retroperitoneum and adrenal gland.Case: We report a 6 year-old boy who presented with abdomial pain. Compute tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed one tumor at his right posterior mediastinum area measuring 8.3x6.3x5.3cm, and the other tumor at his right adrenal gland measuring 3.9x3.4x3.2 cm. A biopsy showed ganglioneuroma, and complete resection of both tumors. Post operation biopsy confirm definitive diagnosis as ganglioneuroma. The patient is healthy from surgery.Conclusion: Ganglioneuroma is benign. The treatment is complete surgical resection. Prognosis after surgical resection seems to be so good, without any recurrences or need for adjuvant therapy.
