Gangioneuroma Misdiagnosed as Ovarian Tumor / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

A ganglioneuroma is a rare neoplasm in adults, which is most commonly locating in the posterior mediastinum, but can also be located in the retroperitoneum, pelvis, adrenal medulla and neck. They predominantly occur in females, with 60-70% of diseases originating before the age of 20 years. Herein, a case of a 51-year-old woman suffering from a pelvic mass, with a history and physical findings similar to those of an ovarian tumor, is reported.
