I know (well, im hoping) that it is a rare benign tumor. I might've spelled it wrong.

Ganglioma or ganglioneuroma as a type of benign tumor, created by matured nerve cells. It is not so frequent as the Glioma tumor.

The ganglioneuroma can be localized in all parts of the central nervous system and also in peripheral nerves. Sometimes it can be found also in the eye (retina), or in the cortex of adrenal glands.

Ganglioneuroma is a usually-benign tumor of the peripheral nervous system.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors:
Ganglioneuromas are rare tumors that occur in approximately 1 in 100,000 children. They most frequently arise in association with autonomic nerve cells, which may be in any part of the body.

Ganglioneuromas most frequently occur in people between age 10 and 40. They are slow-growing masses and may secrete neurochemicals or hormones. Most commonly, they are asymptomatic and discovered in the course of a normal exam or during treatment for some other condition.

Though there are no known risk factors, some reports suggests that they may be associated with some genetic problems, for instance, neurofibromatosis type 1.
