Overview
Natural History
- Ganglioneuromas are rare tumors that most frequently start in the autonomic nerve cells, which may be in any part of the body. The tumor are usually noncancerous (benign).
- Ganglioneuromas usually occur in people ages 10 to 40. They grow slowly, and may release certain chemicals or hormones.
Complications
Common complications of ganglioneuroma include:[1]
Common complications that can develop as a result of the surgical resection of ganglioneuroma include:[2][3]
Prognosis
Most ganglioneuromas are noncancerous. The expected outcome is usually good. A ganglioneuroma may, however, become cancerous and spread to other areas, or it may come back after removal.
