Ganglioneuromas are a very rare benign neural tumor, commonly derived from the ganglia of the sympathetic system, and are composed of mature Schwann cells, ganglion cells, and nerve fibres. They may arise anywhere from the base of the skull to the pelvis along the paravertebral sympathetic plexus. We report a rare case of synchronous ganglioneuroma and schwannoma, mistaken for carotid body tumor. The coexistence of these two entities in head and neck region is very rare.
神经节神经瘤是一种非常罕见的良性神经肿瘤，通常起源于交感神经系统的神经节，由成熟的施万细胞、神经节细胞和神经纤维组成。它们可沿椎旁交感神经丛自颅底至骨盆的任何部位发生。我们报告一例罕见的同步性神经节神经瘤和神经鞘瘤，被误诊为颈动脉体瘤。这两种病变在头颈部区域同时存在非常罕见。
