Surprise Diagnosis of a Lumbar Mass: Cytological Diagnosis of Retroperitoneal Ganglioneuroma in a Rare Presentation.
Ganglioneuromas (GNs) are the rare benign tumors belonging to the spectrum of the neuroblastic tumors and can be found anywhere across the distribution of the sympathetic nervous system, including the retroperitoneum. The majority of retroperitoneal GNs are asymptomatic and are diagnosed incidentally. We present a case of a retroperitoneal GN presenting as a palpable lumbar swelling, scoliosis, and inability to walk in a 6-year-old child, diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and confirmed on histopathology. This case report discusses the rare presentation and challenges in FNAC diagnosis of these lesions.
期刊介绍:
Diagnostic Cytopathology is intended to provide a forum for the exchange of information in the field of cytopathology, with special emphasis on the practical, clinical aspects of the discipline. The editors invite original scientific articles, as well as special review articles, feature articles, and letters to the editor, from laboratory professionals engaged in the practice of cytopathology. Manuscripts are accepted for publication on the basis of scientific merit, practical significance, and suitability for publication in a journal dedicated to this discipline. Original articles can be considered only with the understanding that they have never been published before and that they have not been submitted for simultaneous review to another publication.
