Presentation
On imaging, usually, they present as well-defined solid masses and can be quite large at presentation. Generally, they are hypoattenuating to muscle on CT and have a heterogeneous intermediate signal on both T1 and T2-weighted MRI sequences. [radiopaedia.org]
Rarely, it may also present in cervical region as slow growing painless neck mass. Here we present a 7 years old female child with 4 years duration of slow growing left lateral neck mass. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Turkish
An 18-year-old Turkish male patient with no previous comorbidities was admitted to our hospital with lower-quadrant pain. He had no significant past medical or surgical history. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gastrointestinal
- Left Flank Pain
We describe a 15-year-old normotensive adolescent girl with a 2-month history of left flank pain. Imaging revealed a left suprarenal mass with elevated urinary dopamine level. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
- Hyporeflexia
A 28-year-old woman developed progressive ataxia with hyporeflexia at the age of 19. Brain MRI showed progressive cerebellar atrophy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Clonus
Her examination was notable only for deep tendon reflexes that were more brisk in the lower extremities than in the upper extremities without any clonus. [ajnr.org]
Workup
We report the case of a 5-year-old girl who presented with hematuria and a urinary tract infection and on workup was found to have a large bladder mass. Transurethral resection and pathologic examination revealed the mass to be a ganglioneuroma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
An endocrine workup, including urine catecholamine and a 1mg overnight dexaméthasone suppression test, was normal. The lesion was completely extirpated through laparoscopic resection. [endocrine-abstracts.org]
Provides all the necessary tools to make a comprehensive diagnostic workup including data from ancillary techniques and molecular findings whenever appropriate. [books.google.com]
Treatment
Combining this case with similar cases at home and aboard and reviewing related literature, we formed conclusions based on the manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of this disease and provided treatments for similar cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
According to many authors, surgical excision is sufficient for the treatment. Partial cystectomy or radical cystectomy is the recommended treatment modality. [bjuinternational.com]

Treatment Treatment involves surgery to remove the tumor (if it is causing symptoms). Outlook (Prognosis) Most ganglioneuromas are noncancerous. The expected outcome is usually good. A ganglioneuroma may become cancerous and spread to other areas. [arh.adam.com]
Prognosis
The prognosis is very good with surgical removal. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis is usually excellent, however, local recurrence has been reported. The differential depends on location; for thoracic lesions, consider the differential for a posterior mediastinal mass. [radiopaedia.org]

Pathophysiology
[…] microscopic histopathological analysis, ganglioneuromas are characterized by spindle-shaped cells with cell borders in a fibrillar matrix containing ganglion cells with large round nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm. [1] Pathophysiology [wikidoc.org]
Prevention
In our case, a core needle biopsy preceding complete resection was helpful to prevent too extensive surgical approach. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Currently, there are no available methods to prevent Ganglioneuroma occurrence. What is the Prognosis of Ganglioneuroma? (Outcomes/Resolutions) Ganglioneuromas are generally slow-growing and benign (non-cancerous). [dovemed.com]
Traction on the tumor was kept to a minimum to prevent neurological complications. Preparation was made for neurosurgical resection of these pedicles. [academic.oup.com]
