REGRESSION OF METASTATIC NEUROBLASTOMA TO GANGLIONEUROMA

regression of metastatic neuroblastoma to ganglioneuroma

the spontaneous regression of neuroblastoma to ganlioneuroma is a rare occurrence. reviewing the literature, we found no more than 12casesreported.'•2.9.,o.'4.1s we report a case of metastatic neuroblastoma of multifocal skeletal and soft tissue areas with gross deformities which regressed to ganglioneuroma, with good prognosis.

Survivors of neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma and their families.

The main purpose of this study was to see if the offspring of surviving neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma, or ganglioneuroma patients have themselves a risk for developing tumours. No such risk was found. There was a total of 45 liveborn children who were all healthy. These children have passed through about 37 lifetimes of risk for developing neuroblastoma and about six lifetimes of risk for...

Neuroblastoma metastatic to the liver in infants.

Four infants are described who presented with rapid enlargement of the liver. This was found to be due to neuroblastoma which had metastasized to the liver; the condition was associated with high levels of urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA). In 3 infants the primary tumour was in the adrenal gland and in one it was not identified. One infant died after laparotomy and 2 infants survive disease ...

An Unfavorable Metastatic Site at Initial Diagnosis in a 2-year-old Boy with Neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma (NB) is considered one of the malignant tumors of the nervous system which originates from primordial neural crest cell and is known as the most common extra-cranial solid tumor in childhood. This tumor which is often intra-abdominal, metastases in various sites including the skull, long bones, liver, bone marrow and lymph nodes, but lung metastasis at initial diagnosis is rare (0...

Raman spectroscopic investigation of frozen and deparaffinized tissue sections of pediatric tumors: neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma

Raman spectroscopy is a nondestructive technique that can provide information at the molecular level about the biochemicals in tissues. We have investigated the cellular regions in neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma using Raman spectroscopy and compared their spectral characteristics with those of the corresponding normal adrenal gland. Thin sections from both the frozen and the corresponding for...
