Coexistence of 3 tumors of neural crest origin: neurofibroma, meningioma, and uveal malignant melanoma.
OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical findings in a patient who developed a neurofibroma, meningioma, and choroidal melanoma. METHODS Clinical and histopathological findings of the case are reviewed and presented. RESULTS The patient had a right superolateral periorbital neurofibroma, a right sphenoid wing meningioma, and a left choroidal juxtapapillary malignant melanoma. All 3 tumors are der...
متن کامل3. Early origin and differentiation capacity of the neural crest
This chapter is devoted to the early developmental stages of neural crest cells (NCCs), a fascinating population of migratory cells generated early in development and endowed with a remarkable differentiation potential. These cells contribute to essentially all organs and systems in the body because they play a major role in the formation of the peripheral nervous system. Additionally, they con...
متن کاملcKit+ cardiac progenitors of neural crest origin.
The degree to which cKit-expressing progenitors generate cardiomyocytes in the heart is controversial. Genetic fate-mapping studies suggest minimal contribution; however, whether or not minimal contribution reflects minimal cardiomyogenic capacity is unclear because the embryonic origin and role in cardiogenesis of these progenitors remain elusive. Using high-resolution genetic fate-mapping app...
متن کاملNeural crest origin of olfactory ensheathing glia.
Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are a unique class of glial cells with exceptional translational potential because of their ability to support axon regeneration in the central nervous system. Although OECs are similar in many ways to immature and nonmyelinating Schwann cells, and can myelinate large-diameter axons indistinguishably from myelination by Schwann cells, current dogma holds that ...
متن کاملExpression of PAX 3 alternatively spliced transcripts and identification of two new isoforms in human tumors of neural crest origin.
The developmental gene PAX 3 is expressed in the early embryo in developing muscle and elements of the nervous system, including the brain. Since no one has investigated the expression of the isoforms of PAX 3 in the neuroectodermal tumors melanoma and small cell lung cancer (SCLC), we have carried out a comprehensive screening for the expression of the isoforms PAX 3a-e using RT-PCR in human m...
