Ganglioneuromas (GNs) arising from neural crest sympathogonia are rare benign neurogenic tumors. The most commonly affected sites are the posterior mediastinum, the retroperitoneum and the adrenal gland. Here , we are presenting such a case in a 53-year old female patient with complaints of nonspecific, non-colic, intermittent pain, in the lumbar region predominantly on the left side. Clinically it was diagnosed as nerve sheath tumour or lipoma and surgery was done and confirmed by microscopic study.
