Overview

• The best tools to identify a ganglioneuroma are:

• CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis
• MRI scan of the chest and abdomen

• Blood and urine tests may be done to determine if the tumor is producing hormones or other chemicals.

• A biopsy or complete removal of the tumor may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
