[Ganglioneuroma of the cervical sympathetic nerve in combination with Salmonella infection].
A 70-year-old patient who was seen for evaluation of a parapharyngeal abscess is reported. Since clinical recovery could not be achieved by incision and Salmonella typhi-murium was isolated from the wound-swabs, the existence of two different affections at the same time was apparent. The histological examination after surgical excision led to the diagnosis of a ganglioneuroma. When the patient returned after one year with the clinical aspect of recurrence of the tumour, this pattern could not be verified; Salmonella typhi-murium, however, was found again in the former wound and the stool, too. The etiology of focal manifestations in connection with gastroenteric salmonella-borne infections is discussed.
