Abstract :Ganglioneuroma (GN) is a rare benign, well-differentiated neoplasia originating from the neural crest. Although it is most commonly seen in the posterior mediastinum, it can be observed in many areas including the adrenal gland. Lesions located in the posterior mediastinum and retroperitoneum are mostly seen in the pediatric population and adrenal ganglioneuromas are more common in the 4-5. decade. GN is a benign neoplasia but very rarely lymph node and distant organ metastases have been reported. In this study, a case of adrenal gland ganglioneuroma showing lymph node metastasis in a 3-year-old male patient is presented.
