Neuroblastoma (NBL) is the most common malignancy in infants and the most common extracranial solid tumor in children [1]. The outcome is very good in low and intermediate risk disease. However, in high-risk disease, cure rates are below 50% despite aggressive treatment. Neuroblastoma is said to arise from primitive adrenergic neuroblasts of the neural crest cells primarily in the sympathetic ganglion. On light microscopy, it is classically described as a small round blue cell tumor with Homer Wright pseudo rosettes, necrosis, calcification, hyperchromatic nuclei, and scant cytoplasm.

摘要

Neuroblastoma (NBL) is the most common malignancy in infants and the most common extracranial solid tumor in children [1]. The outcome is very good in low and intermediate risk disease. However, in high-risk disease, cure rates are below 50% despite aggressive treatment. Neuroblastoma is said to arise from primitive adrenergic neuroblasts of the neural crest cells primarily in the sympathetic ganglion. On light microscopy, it is classically described as a small round blue cell tumor with Homer Wright pseudo rosettes, necrosis, calcification, hyperchromatic nuclei, and scant cytoplasm.
