A benign neuroblastic tumor of the sympathetic nervous system that occurs in childhood. Ganglioneuroma typically arises from the sympathetic trunk in the mediastinum. Histologic features include spindle cell proliferation (resembling a neurofibroma) and the presence of large ganglion cells. Common presenting features include a palpable abdominal mass, hepatomegaly, and a thoracic mass detected on routine chest X-ray.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for ganglioneuroma has been reported in the published literature.
5 clinical trials registered, 3 recruiting. Interventions under study include other interventions, procedural interventions, and drug therapy. Pipeline includes 1 EARLY_PHASE1, 1 NA. Research is primarily sponsored by academic and government institutions.
