“…Spontaneous regression has been documented in infants with localized disease or with stage MS disease, whereas differentiation into ganglioneuroma was described following therapy in different age groups and stages of disease. Spontaneous differentiation of bony metastatic neuroblastoma is exceedingly rare; only four cases of spontaneous maturation of metastatic bone lesions have been reported in the literature . Different mechanisms for the spontaneous regression/maturation, including neurotrophin deprivation, immune recognition, telomerase activity, and epigenetic alteration, have been proposed …”

“…We reviewed cases of GN located in the head and neck region that were reported in the English-language literature during the past 10 years. A total of 16 papers and 26 cases were included (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). The epidemiology and clinical characteristics are summarized in Table I.…”

Abstract. Ganglioneuromas (GNs) arising from neural crest sympathogonia are rare benign neurogenic tumors. The most commonly affected sites are the posterior mediastinum, the retroperitoneum and the adrenal gland. GNs often present as a solitary, painless and slow-growing mass, and multiple occurrences in the cervical region are extremely rare. Here, we report a case of massive multiple cervical GN in a 4-year-old girl, and review cases of cervical GN that have been reported in the past 10 years. The results demonstrated that cervical GN, compared to other sites, is seldom secretory. The signs and symptoms of cervical GN are unspecific; the ultimate diagnosis of GN depends on pathological examination. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy has limited value in diagnosis. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and the prognosis is excellent even in cases where complete excision cannot be achieved. Furthermore, GNs should be considered in patients with multiple masses in the neck.
