A case report of multimodal ultrasound imaging in the diagnosis of giant retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma

Retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma is a rare benign tumor that is challenging in terms of clinical diagnosis. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are usually performed for diagnosis rather than convenient and inexpensive ultrasonography. Here, we present the case of a 21-year-old female patient who was diagnosed by multimodal ultrasound imaging and whose diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy before surgery. We hope that this rare case will help clinicians and radiologists realize the advantages of multimodal ultrasound imaging in the diagnosis of retropeitoneal solid tumors, and reduce misdiagnosis.
