A Case of Neuromuscular Choristoma Associated with Significant Pain
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neuromuscular Choristoma (NMC) is a rare, benign pseudo tumor that most commonly affects children in the first decade of life. NMC usually derives from a large nerve trunk, and is also known as neuromuscular hamartoma or neuromuscular rhabdomyoma or benign triton tumor [1]. It is composed of skeletal muscle and neural elements [1]. Due to its rarity, there is limited literature on this tumor type, mostly consisting of case reports. We report a case of NMC located in the left-lateral posterior cervical region of C3-T1 in a four year old child which caused significant persistant pain.
