Metastatic ganglioneuroma: A misnomer

Abstract

Neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma atumors arising from the neural crest cells. Ganglioneuroma is considered as the most mature amongst the three and usually has no metastatic potential. Spontaneous maturation of neuroblastoma into ganglioneuroma is, however, quite well-known. Here, we present a case of an 8-year-old girl child with evidence of metastasis of ganglioneuroma into a lymph node.
