Ganglioneuromas of retroperitoneal cavity which not originate from adrenal gland are very rare tumor, and usually recognized incidental to some other aliment or on a routine physical examination. Ganglioneuromas are generally considered to be the mature form of a triad of tumors arising from neural crest tissue which include malignant neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroblastoma. We report one case of retroperitoneal non-adrenal ganglioneuroma with review of literature.
