Retroperitoneal Ganglioneuroma in Young Adults, Report of A Case

Abstract

Retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma is a benign tumor of the sympathetic nervous system that is part of the neuro-cristopathies and whose pathogenesis remains even less well known. It is a rare tumor, it constitutes 0.07 to 0.2% of tumors. In Morocco, 3 cases of ganglioneuroma have been published. The peak frequency is between 20 and 30 years old with a slight female predominance. It is an often asymptomatic tumor falling within the framework of fortuitous diseases and whose diagnosis is based on radiological investigations, in particular ultrasound, CT and MRI. The histological diagnosis is based on the anatomo-pathological study after surgical excision.
