Zusammenfassung:Presacral ganglioneuromas are extremely rare benign tumors and fewer than 20 cases have been reported in the literature. Ganglioneuromas are difficult to be differentiated preoperatively from tumors such as schwannomas, meningiomas, and neurofibromas with imaging modalities. The retroperitoneal approach for resection of presacral ganglioneuroma was performed for gross total resection of the tumor. Recurrence and malignant transformation of these tumors is rare. Adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation therapy is not indicated because of their benign nature. We report a case of a 47-year-old woman with a presacral ganglioneuroma.
