Overview
Pathophysiology
Gross Pathology
- Ganglioneuromas are solid, firm tumors that are typically white when seen with the naked eye
- Gangliocytoma is commonly located in the following regions:
- Abdomen (most common)
- Adrenal gland
- Paraspinal retroperitoneum
- Posterior mediastinum
- Head
- Neck[1]
Microscopic Pathology
- Ganglioneuromas are derived from the primordial neural crest cells, which are undifferentiated cells of the sympathetic nervous system.
- Ganglioneuromas are fully differentiated neuronal tumors that do not contain immature elements.
- They are composed of ganglion cells, schwann cells and fibrous tissue.
