Ganglioneuromas are benign neuroblastic tumors seen most in pediatric population. The most common locations are mediastinal, retroperitoneal and adrenal regions. Ganglioneuromas rarely occur in presacral space. We present one such case of an incidentally diagnosed presacral ganglioneuroma in an asymptomatic 71-year-old male who initially presented with hematuria.

Introduction: Currently, few prospective guidelines exist for the surveillance of children with low-risk neuroblastic tumors (LRNBTs), including ganglioneuroma or ganglioneuroblastoma intermixed. This study aims to describe our institutional approach to LRNBT surveillance following surgical resection or nonoperative management. We hypothesize that length of surveillance can be reduced due to low recurrence risk.
