“…There is often also muscular hypertrophy of the gut wall in the diffuse form. Ganglioneuroma and ganglioneuromatosis of the intestines are sometimes associated with diffuse, cutaneous neurofibromatosis (von Recklinghausen's disease) as described by Praga, Cavagnini, and Lambertenghi (1968). All these conditions are usually benign.…”

A man, aged 72 years, who came to hospital with a 9‐month history of increasing constipation, had a narrowed segment of sigmoid colon removed. Increased numbers of nerve fibres and ganglion cells were found histologically in the plexuses of Auerbach and Meissner, and in the muscular layers of the affected bowel. This is apparently the first recorded case of this type of ganglioneuromatosis of the pelvic colon. The lesion was radiologically indistinguishable from a stenosing carcinoma of the colon.

Fourteen cases of benign tumorous conditions in children are reported. Each new growth described represents a true neoplasm, one simulating a true neoplasm, or one simulating a true tumor, clinically and/or radiographically. The series contains 10 female and 4 male patients. Most patients were under 1 year of age when manifestations--most often, gastrointestinal hemorrhage or bowel obstruction-- of the condition became evident. Nine patients had roentgenographic findings which indicated the presence of an abnormality, but the specificity of the findings was low. Some patients had cutaneous or other somatic clinical stigmata found in known syndromes also containing gastrointestinal pathology. These stigmata and the awareness of the clinical and roentgenographic manifestations of small bowel tumors in children should lead to an early diagnosis and hopefully to the usually successful surgical therapy.
