Ganglioneuroma of the bladder: Case report and literature review

Abstract

Ganglioneurornas originate from neural crest syinpathogonia of the autonomic nervous system. These tumors are benign. fully differentiated tumors that contain mature Schwann cells. ganglion cells. fibrous tissue and nerve fibers. Ganglioneurornas commonly localize in the abdominal and mediastinum regions. such as the adrenal gland. paraspinal retroperitoneum and posterior mediastinum. However. these tumors are rarely localized to the urinary bladder and. herein, we present brief review of the literature and ganglionetu‘oma of 16-year-old female patient as the second case reported in the urinary bladder.
