A ganglioneuroma is typically asymptomatic, and is typically only discovered when being examined or treated for another condition. Any symptoms will depend upon the tumor's location and the nearby organs affected. [citation needed] For example, a tumor in the chest area may cause breathing difficulty, chest pain, and trachea compression.
Nodular ganglioneuroblastoma can be divided by prognosis. [2] ... Ganglioneuroma (benign) Ganglioneuroblastoma (intermediate). Neuroblastoma (aggressive) See also.
Malignant ectomesenchymoma (MEM) is a rare tumor of soft tissues or the CNS, which is composed of both neuroectodermal elements [represented by ganglion cells and/or well-differentiated or poorly differentiated neuroblastic cells such as ganglioneuroma, ganglioneuroblastoma, neuroblastoma, peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors – PNET ...
A neuroma (/ nj ʊəˈr oʊ m ə /; plural: neuromata or neuromas) is a growth or tumor of nerve tissue. [1] Neuromas tend to be benign (i.e. not cancerous); many nerve tumors, including those that are commonly malignant, are nowadays referred to by other terms.
Diagnosis is typically based on examination. The ability to shine through the bump or any past decrease in size supports the diagnosis of the bump as a ganglion cyst. [4] Ganglion cysts are usually obvious upon observation. Medical imaging may be considered on infrequent occasions to rule out another diagnosis. [3] [4] Treatment is not necessary.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically used in spinal nerve sheath tumor diagnosis. [1] Each nerve sheath tumor type has a few different associated features on MRI imaging. Neurofibromas and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors can be difficult to distinguish from each other and may require additional testing, including PET scans ...
When molecular diagnostics are not complete enough to allow precise classification, diagnosis should be designated by appending not otherwise specified (NOS). In case of a full molecular workup which does not match any of the standard WHO diagnosis, tumors are to be labeled not elsewhere classified (NEC).
