We present a case of ganglioneuroblastoma in an eight-year-old Pakistani Sindhi boy incidentally found to have a large posterior mediastinal mass that on biopsy initially looked like ganglioneuroma. He underwent successful excision of the mediastinal mass and remained stable post-operatively. Final pathology findings showed a ganglioneuroblastoma. He has remained free of symptoms on long-term follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The rarity of this tumor along with its almost exclusive occurrence in the pediatric population necessitates a thorough investigation of patients presenting with a symptomatic mass.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1752-1947-5-322","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,22]],"date-time":"2011-07-22T18:16:25Z","timestamp":1311358585000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Ganglioneuroblastoma of the posterior mediastinum: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Saulat H","family":"Fatimi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samira A","family":"Bawany","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Awais","family":"Ashfaq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"1679_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"428","DOI":"10.1097\/00043426-199709000-00004","volume":"19","author":"JG Gurney","year":"1997","unstructured":"Gurney JG, Ross JA, Wall DA, Bleyer WA, Severson RK, Robison LL: Infant cancer in the U.S.: histology-specific incidence and trends, 1973 to 1992.
