Abstract

Ganglioneuromas are rare, slow-growing, benign, neurogenic tumors that arise primarily from sympathetic ganglion cells and, less frequently, from the adrenal medulla, sympathetic and peripheral nerves. A 24-year-old woman presented with dyspnea and hemoptysis. Radiologic examination demonstrated a giant mediastinal mass in the left hemithorax. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass occupying nearly all of the left hemithorax, pushing the mediastinal structures to the right. Vascular structures were also noted inside the mass. The diagnosis was made as ganglioneuroma following transthoracic fine needle aspiration biopsy. At surgery, a neurosurgery team first detached the tumor from the spinal cord through a a posterior approach. Then, the mass was totally resected by a left posterolateral thoracotomy. No complications occurred within a follow-up period of five years.

Özet

Ganglionöroma, sıklıkla sempatik gangliyon hücrelerinden, seyrek olarak da adrenal medulla, sempatik sinir ve periferik sinirlerden köken alan, nadir görülen, yavaş büyüyen, benign, nörojenik bir tümördür. Dispne ve hemoptizi yakınmasıyla başvuran 24 yaşındaki kadın hastanın grafilerinde sol hemitoraksta dev mediastinal kitle görüldü. Bilgisayarlı tomografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntülemede, sol hemitoraksın tamamına yakınını dolduran, mediastinal yapıları sağa doğru iten, içerisinde yer yer belirgin vasküler yapılar bulunan kitle izlendi. Transtorasik ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsi sonucunda ganglionöroma tanısı konarak, önce nöroşirürji ekibince posteriordan kitlenin medulla spinalis ile olan bağlantısı kesildi. Daha sonra, sol posterolateral torakotomi yapılarak kitle hemitoraks içinden tamamen boşaltıldı. Ameliyat sonrası beş yıllık dönemde hastada herhangi bir sorunla karşılaşılmadı.
