Abstract

Ganglioneuroma is a rare, benign, non-invasive and neurogenic tumor. These tumours usually present as a slowly enlarging mass, predominantly in single form. Due to its rarity and the lack of specific signs and symptoms, it is often difficult to reach a definite diagnosis prior to pathological examination. We are presenting a case of 18 month old child who presented with a neck swelling of short duration, which was completely excised.
