Ganglioneuroma is a very rare benign tumor growing from the vegetative, autonomic nervous system. It grows from the central or peripheral part. We describe cervical ganglioneuroma in a 38-year-old man growing in the C7/Th1 foramen area on the right before the fibers enter the ganglion stellatum. It is a non-dumbbell shaped tumor growing between ganglion stellatum and ganglion cervicale. Treatment is resection with total tumor excess. Complete surgical resection is a very effective therapy. The relapse of the tumor is not described in literature studies. Similar type of this case has been described only once in literature and reviewed from anglophone literature, which is selected with the exclusion of neurofibromatosis and with localization in the neck area [1].
