Abstract

Ganglioneuroma is a benign tumor requiring subtotal resection as a primary mode of treatment. There are several surgical approaches. A giant ganglioneuroma of the chest cavity may be approached via a clamshell thoracotomy. This manuscript presents a case of giant ganglioneuroma resected en bloc via clamshell thoracotomy in a seven-year-old child.
