Abstract

We report an eight year female patient admitted to the department of pediatrics at Abbasia Pulmonary Hospital at Cairo, Egypt. The child was complaining of pain on the right lower chest and upper abdome.On evaluation by CT of the chest, there was a huge posterior mediastinal mass occupying more than three quarters of the right hemithorx.Preoperative histopathology using CT guided needle biopsy revealed ganglioneuroma.The tumor was resected completely via right standard postero-lateral thoracotomy without complications.Postoperative histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of ganglioneuroma.

Key Words:

Ganglioneuroma. Posterior mediastinum. Pediatrics
