Abstract
Ganglioneuroma (GN) of the gastrointestinal tract is an extremely rare neuroectodermal tumor. Patients with ganglioneuromas have different presentations depending on the location, extent and size of the lesion. We present two cases of ganglioneuromas that had different clinical presentations and outcomes. Gastroenterol Res. 2021;14(3):194-198 doi: https://doi.org/10.14740/gr1379Keywords
