Abstract
Ganglioneuromas are very rare clinical entities, and their occurrence in the large bowel lays further emphasis on their rarity. Ganglioneuromas are benign tumors of undifferentiated neural crest cells. Their clinical presentation is mostly asymptomatic, and if any symptoms are present at all, they are usually nonspecific, with excellent prognosis. We report an asymptomatic, 65-year-old male with a solitary ascending colonic polyp found on screening colonoscopy. Histology revealed benign polypoid spindle-cell proliferation as well as S100 reactivity, consistent with ganglioneuroma. We report on the clinical presentation and discuss the origin, epidemiology, treatment, and management of this lesion.
