title: Primary congenital cutaneous ganglioneuroma.
abstract: Cutaneous ganglioneuroma is rare. Only five cases have been reported, and in all patients the lesions developed after birth. We describe a congenital cutaneous ganglioneuroma. The differential diagnosis includes well-differentiated cutaneous metastases of neuroblastoma and ganglion cells entrapped by a neurofibroma in patients with neurofibromatosis.
