Abstract

Ganglioneuroblastoma is a malignant tumor which contains characteristics of both the neuroblastoma and the ganglioneuroma. It may be invasive and metastasized to the distant organs. We experienced a case of ganglioneuroblastoma which was arised from the left adrenal gland and metastasized to the left femur and the bone marrow. A 3 year old male patient was diagnosed as ganglioneuroblastoma and confirmed histologically A review of literatures was also presented.
