Ganglianeuroma: radiological and metabolic features in 4 children.
Ganglioneuroma constitutes a benign and surgically treatable tumor. The authors studied 4 patients with histopathologically proven ganglioneuroma focusing on radiological and metabolic features. The results confirm previous investigations that have shown metabolic activity in ganglioneuroma and characteristic patterns in imaging studies. Although for definite diagnosis tissue investigation is required, certain clinical and radiological features are suggestive of ganglioneuroma.
