[Many localisations of ganglioneuroma: about of one case]

ABSTRACT

Ganglioneuroma and neuroblastoma are both tumors of the sympathetic nervous system. Neuroblastoma is a malignant tumor, but ganglioneuroma is a benign and a mature one. The study deals with an uncommun aspect of the ganglioneuroma which is revealed by multiple cutaneous metastasis. Examination revealed two others mediastinal and retroperitoneal tumors which are asymtomatic. We think, as the majority of investigators that the tumor was previously a neuroblastoma that metastased at the skin and matured of ganglioneuroma with primary and metastatic tumor. Surgical treatment of both mediastinal and retroperitoneal tumors had led by itself to a regression of subcutaneous with the tumors mentioned above
