A Case of Ganglioneuromatosis of the Colon
Abstract
- Ganglioneuromatosis is a benign tumor composed of ganglion cells, nerve fibers and spindle-shaped neural cells of probable schwann cell origin. They mostly occur in the retroperitoneum and posterior mediastinum. Gastrointestinal ganglioneuromatosis is rarely encountered in clinical practice. It may be associated with systemic disease such as multiple endocrine neoplasia IIb, von Recklinghausen's disease, juvenile polyposis and tuberous sclerosis. To our knowledge, it is the first report which presents a colonic ganglioneuromatosis combined with colonic adenoma.
