title: Posterior mediastinal masses in children: ganglioneuroblastoma.
abstract: Ganglioneuroblastoma, although a rare neoplasm, is one of the most common causes of posterior mediastinal masses in children. This tumor occurs in children from one to 10 years of age. With intrathoracic involvement, the tumor may remain asymptomatic until it is large. The case reported illustrates a typical presentation of intrathoracic ganglioneuroblastoma.
