Magnetic resonance neurography in the diagnosis of a retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma: Case report and literature review
Magnetic resonance neurography is a technique for identifying anatomy and pathologic lesions of nerves, and has emerged as a helpful technique for localizing lesions and elucidating the underlying etiology. Ganglioneuromas are highly differentiated benign tumors. This lesion is rare and exhibits und...
