Abstract
Ganglio neuromas are childhood Peripheral Neuroblastic tumors (pNTs) derived from precursor cells of the sympathetic nervous system. The differential diagnosis includes Ganglio neuroblastoma. A definite diagnosis & typing is necessary as prognosis depends on it. Here we report a case of Ganglio neuroma in a nine year old child presenting as solitary mediastinal mass. Our study specially shows the importance of immunohistochemistry in this regard.
