Cerebral ganglioglio-neuroblastoma: an unusual brain tumour of the neuron series.
نویسنده
چکیده
The pathology of an unusual intracranial neuroectodermal tumour of the neuron series in described and its possible histogenesis discussed. The tumour, in a child aged 5 years with an enlarged head since infancy, presented as a large solid intra-cerebral mass. Histological examination showed four types of cells; (i) the stroma, forming the bulk of the tumour, was astrocytomatous; (ii) lobules of ill defined cells bearing small circular nuclei, representing immature neuroblasts: (iii) the same of other lobules containing neurons in various stages of development; and (iv) dense clusters of cells with hyperchromatic nuclei attempting rosettes, representing an overtly malignant neuroblastoma. This tumour was designated "ganglioglio-neuroblastoma" and probably originated from a slow growing ganglioglioma.

Increased expression of neuronal apolipoprotein E in human brain with cerebral infarction.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cellular origin of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) in the human brain and its roles in physiological and pathological conditions remain to be clarified. METHODS Immunolocalization of ApoE was investigated in a series of autopsied human brains with or without infarction. ApoE expression was also estimated on immunoblot on protein extracts from autopsied brains and a cultured neu...

متن کاملLeptomeningeal metastasis from primary extracerebral neuroblastoma: CT demonstration.
Neuroblastoma is a tumor of early childhood that usually originates in the sympathetic ganglia or adrenal medulla [1, 2] . Except for the rare primary cerebral neuroblastoma, involvement of brain parenchyma and leptomeninges is unusual and tends to occur in cases of widely disseminated disease [3] . To our knowledge, we report the first CT demonstration of diffuse intracranial leptomeningeal me...

Encephalomalacia is softening or loss of brain tissue following cerebral infarction; cerebral ischemia infection, craniocerebral trauma or other injuries. Cholangiocarcinomas are malignant neoplasms of biliary epithelium, which usually arise from the intrahepatic ducts. A budgerigar was presented with a history of ataxia, decreased activity, neck weakness and weight loss. Supportive care was at...
