RETROPERITONEAL GANGLIONEUROMA--A RARE CASE REPORT

MAHESH KUMAR

Abstract


Abstract : Ganglioneuromas are well differentiated benign
tumors of the sympathetic nervous system arising from the
neuroectodermal cells. Its reported incidence is one per
million populations.(1)We report an incidentally detected,
histopathologically proven ganglioneuroma of the
retroperitoneum in a 24 year old male patient with the
preoperative diagnosis of duodenal GIST
