[Retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma: a case report].
A 67-year-old male presented for examination of a retroperitoneal tumor, incidentally found by abdominal computed tomography (CT). CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a round heterogeneous tumor, 10 cm in diameter, at the left renal hilus and involving the left renal vein. The tumor was low-intensity on T1-weighted MRI imaging, and high-intensity on T2-weight MRI imaging. The tumor was easily resected via a transabdominal approach. The pathological diagnosis was ganglioneuroma.
