Ganglioneuroblastoma (GNB) is a cancer of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system and represents the 30% of cases of Neuroblastoma.When originates from thoracic ganglia it may appear very late, with severe symptoms like respiratory distress or neurological dysfunctions.We present an incidental diagnosis of thoracic GNB, discovered by a chest radiography during a recurrent wheezing unresponsive to bronchodilators. The early diagnosis allowed a precocious treatment probably improving the outcome.

Abstract

Ganglioneuroblastoma (GNB) is a cancer of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system and represents the 30% of cases of Neuroblastoma.When originates from thoracic ganglia it may appear very late, with severe symptoms like respiratory distress or neurological dysfunctions.We present an incidental diagnosis of thoracic GNB, discovered by a chest radiography during a recurrent wheezing unresponsive to bronchodilators. The early diagnosis allowed a precocious treatment probably improving the outcome.
