This exceptionally rare and apparently benign tumour is considered to be of neural crest origin. In the case described the tumour cells were seen to contain thin filaments with focal densities and conspicuous numbers of mitochondria, and smooth muscle protein wa...

متن کاملMesectodermal capabilities of the trunk neural crest of birds.
Orthotopic transplantation experiments have shown that in birds, under normal conditions, mesectodermal capabilities seem restricted to the cephalic neural crest down to the level of the 5th somite. In the present study the mesectodermal capabilities of trunk and lumbar neural crest were investigated at early stages of development by heterotopic, heterospecific transplantation of the neural pri...
متن کاملMesectodermal leiomyosarcoma of the ciliary body.
We report a case of low-grade mesectodermal leiomyosarcoma of the ciliary body, an extremely rare tumor of neural crest origin, occurring in a 12-year-old boy. MR imaging showed a well-marginated, ovoid soft tissue mass at the right temporal ciliary body, accompanied by total retinal detachment. The mass was slightly hyperintense relative to contralateral vitreous on T1-weighted images and mark...
