Ganglioneuroma may occur spontaneously or after therapy for neuroblastoma. This lesion may be metastatic or unresectable in the primary site. The rarity of this situation and lack of understanding of the biology of this benign condition may lead to extensive, potentially life-threatening attempts at surgical resection or the futile use of chemotherapy or radiotherapy to try to cause regression or control growth. The authors present here several cases which demonstrate the multiple presentations of ganglioneuroma and the potential problems which may arise in their management.
神经节神经瘤可自发出现，也可在神经母细胞瘤治疗后发生。该病变在原发部位可能是转移性的或无法切除的。这种情况罕见，且对这种良性疾病的生物学特性缺乏了解，可能导致为进行手术切除而进行广泛的、可能危及生命的尝试，或徒劳地使用化疗或放疗试图使其消退或控制生长。作者在此介绍几例病例，展示了神经节神经瘤的多种表现形式及其在治疗中可能出现的潜在问题。
