“…GN is a rare benign neurogenic tumor originating from the sympathetic ganglia, mostly distributed along the paraspinal region, and the predilection sites are the posterior mediastinum, retroperitoneum, and adrenal glands ( 8 , 9 ). In this case, the tumor was located in the front of the spine, the posterior mediastinum was close to the diaphragm, and had a complete capsule, and the tumor was large.…”
