Abstract:
The authors report a rare case of retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma discovered incidentally in a 47-year-old male during abdominal computed tomogaphy(CT) evaluation. The clinical features and findings of the complementary examinations, which included radiological assessment, abdomen CT and lumbar spine magnetic resonance image with contrast enhancement are presented, as well as the pathology findings. The tumor, 10x10x6cm in size, was well encapsulated and total removal was made. Histopathological diagnosis of retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma was confirmed.
