신경절세포 부신경절종은 드물게 발생하는 신경내분비 종양으로 양성 질환으로 간주되어 왔다. 그러나 림프절전이 나 기타 타 장기로의 원격전이가 확인된 예도 보고되고 있 어 반드시 원격전이 가능성을 고려해야 한다. 신경절세포 부 신경절종은 내시경 소견만으로는 진단이 어렵고 결국 조직 학적 진단이 반드시 필요하다. 최근 저자들은 내시경 유두부 절제술 후 2년 동안 재발을 보이지 않는 점막하 종양 형태를 가진 신경절세포 부신경절종 1예를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하 는 바이다.

Abstract
A gangliocytic paraganglioma (GP) is a rare benign neuroendocrine tumor. However, its origin remains unclear. It is seen most frequently in the second portion of the duodenum. At endoscopy, a GP characteristically appears as a pedunculated nodular submucosal tumor with erosions and surface ulcers. The histological diagnosis is usually made from endoscopic biopsies showing the presence of epithelioid, spindle, and ganglion cells. We experienced a case of GP in a 38-year-old female who was referred because of a possible ampullary tumor. The endoscopic images showed a 1.5-cm, oval ampullary tumor covered with normal mucosa. An endoscopic biopsy showed chronic duodenitis. The tumor was removed by an endoscopic papillectomy. We report a case of duodenal GP that presented as a submucosal tumor that was treated with a papillectomy and review the literature. (Korean J Med 2014;86:603-607)
