ABSTRACT
Ganglioneuroma is a rare benign tumor and it is thought to arise from the ganglia of the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system. This tumor most commonly presents in patients younger than 20 years of age and is seen in the thorax, including posterior mediastinum and in the abdomen, including retroperitoneum. But, ganglioneuroma in the face is exceptional. Ganglioneuroma is slow growing, non-invasive lesion that is often detectable incidentally as painless mass or which effects on neighboring structures. A 14-year-old female patient with neuroblastoma was undergone surgical excision due to buccal cheekmass, and the diagnosis of mass was ganglioneuroma. Thus, we report the rare case of ganglioneuroma with literature review.
