U hạch thần kinh (ganglioneuroma) trung thất sau: Báo cáo trường hợp lâm sàng

Abstract

Neuroblastoma (GN) is a rare, benign neuroma. The tumor is a combination of ganglion cells, mature Schwann cells, and nerve fiber tissue of the sympathetic (autonomic) nervous system. GN usually occurs in the posterior mediastinum or retroperitoneum and usually does not present any symptoms. Although it is a benign tumor, it can sometimes grow quickly and cause serious complications. GN mass can be diagnosed with computed tomography, magnetic resonance or ultrasound. Tumor biopsy is required for diagnosis. Surgical treatment in many cases is not necessary because it is a benign tumor that can be monitored, avoiding risks during surgery. When there are complications, surgical removal of the tumor is usually performed.        We report a case of GN in a 20-year-old male patient who was confirmed and successfully operated on at the National Lung Hospital. The objective of the report is to supplement the rare case literature, emphasizing the clinical features, diagnostic imaging and the role of pathology in the definitive diagnosis of the disease; recommends the best diagnostic and therapeutic approach for this benign tumor.
