Primary orbital ganglioneuroma in a 2-year-old healthy boy
چکیده انگلیسی

A 2-year-old healthy child presented with progressive unilateral proptosis.Complete work up including: general examination, detailed ophthalmic evaluation and radiological imaging were done. He underwent orbital exploration via anterior orbitotomy incision and debulking of the tumor was done.The histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of orbital ganglioneuroma.Ganglioneuroma is an unusual benign tumor of neuroplastic origin with extremely rare orbital involvement with only one prior reported case in a youth. The tumor is slow growing and non-metastasizing. Biopsy is necessary to differentiate it from the malignant neuroblastoma and excision is usually curative.
