Pharyngeal Ganglioneuroma: a Rare Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ganglioneuromas, benign tumors of the sympathetic nervous system, are rare to arise in the parapharyngeal space. They are usually asymptomatic and hormonally silent. The interest of this case lay in the rarity of its incidence at the pharyngeal space. Majority of cases are detected incidentally during work-up for unrelated conditions. They usually develop from the great sympathetic chains, extending from the base of the skull to the neck, posterior mediastinum, retroperitoneum, and adrenal glands. We report, case of a 48 years old male and discuss, imaging feature and the histopathological data.
