A case of ganglioneuroma presenting as a retroperitoneal mass in a 5-yr-old girl was diagnosed by preoperative fine-needle aspiration cytology. The cytologic smears predominantly showed clusters of Schwann cells, with scattered mature ganglion cells. The cytologic diagnosis of ganglioneuroma was subsequently confirmed on histopathologic examination. To date, very few reports on the cytologic features of this tumor exist. The importance of considering a confident diagnosis by cytology, and of the uncommon age group that may be affected, is stressed. Diagn. Cytopathol. 1999;21:194-196.
一名5岁女孩的神经节神经瘤表现为腹膜后肿块，通过术前细针穿刺细胞学检查得以诊断。细胞学涂片主要显示施万细胞簇，伴有散在的成熟神经节细胞。随后的组织病理学检查证实了神经节神经瘤的细胞学诊断。迄今为止，关于该肿瘤细胞学特征的报道非常少。强调了通过细胞学做出可靠诊断的重要性以及该肿瘤可能影响的不常见年龄组。《诊断细胞病理学》1999年；21卷：194 - 196页。
