The ganglioneuroma is a benign neuroblastic tumor and derives from immature cells of the sympathetic nerve system. The ganglioneuroma is a very rare disease and effects newborns and infants more often than adolescents and adults. The benign tumors are relatively difficult to diagnose since they usually are asymptomatic. We report a case of a 14-year-old boy coming to us with persistent asthenia. In the Department of Emergency an abdominal ultrasonography incidentally revealed abdominal mass near his left kidney. The computed tomography revealed dis-homogeneous abdominal mass. In another hospital, subsequently, a complete surgical resection and histopathologic examination established the diagnosis of ganglioneuroma.
神经节神经瘤是一种良性神经母细胞瘤，起源于交感神经系统的未成熟细胞。神经节神经瘤是一种非常罕见的疾病，在新生儿和婴儿中比青少年和成年人更常见。这种良性肿瘤相对难以诊断，因为它们通常没有症状。我们报告一例14岁男孩因持续乏力前来就诊。在急诊科，腹部超声偶然发现其左肾附近有腹部肿块。计算机断层扫描显示腹部肿块不均匀。随后，在另一家医院，完整的手术切除和组织病理学检查确诊为神经节神经瘤。
