| Abstract: | Cutaneous ganglioneuroma has only occasionally been reported in the literature. Cutaneous ganglioneuroma is seen even more rarely in association with a giant congenital nevus. Differential diagnosis includes malignancies, especially melanoma and metastatic neuroblastoma.It is essential to rule out malignancy in a solid lesion within a congenital nevus. The present report is possibly the first relating ganglioneuroma and a congenital nevus to a cervical mass detected during routine prenatal ultrasound. |
