چکیده
Report of clinical features, diagnostic and surgical aspects observed in a case of adult peripheral neuroblastoma infiltrative of the lumbosacral plexuses. The patient, a 39-year-old male, presented with sciatalgia and progressive crural monoplegia. Characteristic histological features of this rare tumor are described. Surgical resection was attempted via a posterior transgluteal approach to the retroperitoneum through the greater sciatic foramen.

Neuroblastoma accounts for 8-10% of all childhood malignancies. The prognosis of neuroblastoma is highly variable depending on the age at diagnosis, stage of the disease, and tumor biology. High risk is defined as neuroblastoma occurring in children over 1 year of age with an amplification of the MYCN oncogene or distant metastasis 1) . Despite recent improvements in outcome with intensificatio...

Neuroblastoma cell lines can be models for neuroblastoma responsiveness to chemotherapy-induced cell death as well as for the sensitivity of untransformed neuronal cells to the toxic side-effects of chemotherapy. Both phenomena are relevant to neuroblastoma cells exposed to bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor in clinical use. It has been shown previously that neuroblastoma cell lines are prone t...

Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) are being used as an alternative to autologous marrow rescue for hematopoietic reconstitution after high-dose chemotherapy in patients with neuroblastoma and other solid malignancies. Use of PBSCs is preferred by some because of the belief that there is less risk of tumor contamination. Because tumor stem cell contamination is thought to be one contributing c...

متن کاملContamination of peripheral blood stem cell harvests by circulating neuroblastoma cells.
Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) are being used as one alternative to autologous marrow rescue for patients with neuroblastoma and other solid malignancies. Some physicians prefer use of PBSC because less risk of tumor contamination is believed to exist. This hypothesis was evaluated by immunocytologic analysis of blood samples and concurrently drawn bone marrow (BM) samples and of PBSC harve...
