An Exophytic Pancreatic Mass Diagnosed as Ganglioneuroma.
Ganglioneuromas are rare neuroendocrine tumors affecting around one in a million, mostly young adults. These slow-growing, well-differentiated neuroepithelial tumors originate from the neural crest and involve the sympathetic nervous system. We present an unusual case of a 47-year-old African American man with mildly elevated liver enzymes who was incidentally found to have a suspected pancreatic mass. Endoscopic ultrasound and fine-needle biopsies confirmed the diagnosis of a ganglioneuroma, inseparable and exophytic in the body of the pancreas extending into the tail.
