저자들은 십이지장의 팽대부에서 발견된 종양에 대해 조직검사를 시행, 신경내분비종으로 판단하여 내시경적 유두부 절제술을 시행하였으며 신경절세포 부신경절종으로 진단된 증례를 경험하였으며, 신경절세포 부신경절종이 내시경적 유두부절제술로 성공적으로 치료되었기에 문헌고찰과 더불어 보고하는 바이다.
Gangliocytic paraganglioma (GP) is an extremely rare tumor that mostly occurs in the periampullary area of the duodenum. It is characterized by benign behavior and favorable outcomes, but sometimes shows regional lymph node dissemination. GP consist of three characteristic histological components: epithelioid, spindle, and ganglion cells. Therefore, it is often misdiagnosed as a neuroendocrine tumor when only endoscopic forceps biopsy is performed. The clinical management of GP has not yet been standardized. This case report describes an asymptomatic patient who was initially diagnosed with a grade-1 neuroendocrine tumor, but was confirmed as having benign GP after endoscopic papillectomy. Complete en-bloc resection was performed for this patient, without any significant adverse events. At a 6-month follow-up assessment, the patient remained asymptomatic and there was no evidence of recurrence.
