Özet

Elli beş yaşındaki bir erkek hastanın akciğer grafisinde, sağ üst alanda paratrakeal yerleşimli, homojen opasite artışı, toraks tomografisinde posterior mediastende kitlesel lezyon izlendi. Histopatolojik incelemede ganglionörom saptandı. Erişkin yaşa kadar tanı almaması ve nadir görülen bir selim tümör olmasından dolayı, literatür bilgileri eşliğinde sunulmaktadır.
