Abstract
In view of the rare occurrence, the small spectrum of clinical manifestations and the non-specificity of changes in instrumental and laboratory data, the diagnosis of ganglioneuroma at the moment is a very difficult task for the routine of a doctor. Ganglioneuromas have a slow growth, which leads to a long asymptomatic course and, as a result, complicates its early diagnosis. In most cases, ganglioneuroma is random. Complaints in these patients are non-specific and are directly dependent on localization.One of the available methods for imaging retroperitoneal tumors is ultrasound (ultrasound)., which makes preventive and regular ultrasound an indispensable method for early detection of extraorgan formations. This article describes the clinical case of ganglioneroma in a young man with the pathology of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
