Neuroblastic tumours are common in childhood and adrenal glands are the most common site. Head and neck ganglioneuroblastomas are extremely rare and nose is a very uncommon site for a ganglioneuroblastoma. The management of this primitive sympathogonic tumour may vary depending on the age of the patient and stage of the tumour. We present a middle-aged man with a ganglioneuroblastoma of skull base, management of this tumour and a review of literature.
神经母细胞瘤在儿童期很常见，肾上腺是最常见的发病部位。头颈部神经节神经母细胞瘤极为罕见，而鼻部是神经节神经母细胞瘤非常罕见的发病部位。这种原始交感神经源性肿瘤的治疗可能因患者年龄和肿瘤分期而异。我们报告一名患有颅底神经节神经母细胞瘤的中年男性，介绍该肿瘤的治疗情况并进行文献综述。
