Ganglioneuroma is a rare peripheral neuroblastic tumor originating from the neural crest. It is a benign tumor involving posterior mediastinum and retroperitoneum. We present a case of 12-year-old boy who was diagnosed with ganglioneuroma involving deep facial structures - infratemporal fossa extending to adjacent structures.
