Abstract

Ganglioneuroma is a benign neurogenic tumor arising mostly from the great chains of sympathetic ganglia which extends from the base of skull to the pelvis including adrenal medulla. It occurs most frequently in the infant and young children, predominantly at the posterior mediastinum and retroperitoneum. Recently we experienced a case of bilateral ganglioneuroma of the retroperitoneal sympathetic chains in a 32 years old female patient and, herein, report with review of the literatures.
