Core Tip	Ganglioneuroma is the final mature form of neuroblastic tumors which is mainly involved in the posterior mediastinum and the retroperitoneal space. We reported a rare case of cervical bilateral dumbbell ganglioneuroma associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. Only 5 cases have been reported. Due to none specific symptoms, signs and radiological images, it is difficult to make a definite diagnosis before postoperative pathology. The prognosis of this tumor is good. Complete resection is the exhaustive treatment. Furthermore, incomplete resection didn’t increase the risk of progression if tumor residuals were smaller than 2 cm.
