Abstract

Isolated
hamartomatous ganglioneuromas are extremely rare tumors. Although they may be
found in adrenal gland or retroperitoneal region most of the time, they are
localized in the posterior mediastineum. These hamartomatous tumors may rarely
possess malignant foci (areas of neuroblastomaous or malignant nerve sheath
tumour). An isolatPd hamartomatous ganglioneuroma in a 17 years old girl
localised at upper posterior mediasteneum is presented with its clinical and
morphologic characteristics and is discussed with current literature data.

Abstract

İzole
hamartomatoz ganlionöroma son derece nadir tümörlerden biridir. Adrenal bez ve
retroperitoneal bölgede izlenmesine karşın en sık
arka mediasten yerleşimlidir. Bu hamartomatoz tümörler
nadiren malign odaklar (nöroblastomatöz ya da malign sinir kılıfı tümör
alanları) içerebilirler. 17 yaşında kız çocukta
üst arka mediasten yerleşimli ganglionöroma olgusunun
klinik ve morfolojik bulguları sunulmuştur ve son
literatürler gözden geçirilerek tartışılmıştır.
