Abstract:
Ganglioneuroma is a neurogenic tumor originating from autonomic ganglia. It most commonly occurs in patients younger than 20 years with a slight predominance of females. The pelvic localization is rare. Imaging can lead to diagnosis but it is not specific. The diagnosis can only be confirmed by the pathologic study. The authors report one case of pelvic ganglioneuroma diagnosed in an 11-year-old child who also had hypertension and renal failure.
