  • Title: A case of cerebral composite ganglioneuroblastoma: an immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study.
    Author: Takahashi M, Ishihara T, Yokota T, Uchino F, Yokoyama T, Matsumoto N.
    Journal: Acta Neuropathol; 1990; 80(1):98-102. PubMed ID: 2360422.
    Abstract:
    An unusual cerebral tumor is reported in a 14-year-old boy. On light and electron microscopy, the constituent cells were very complex; the majority of the neoplastic cells were primitive neuroectodermal cells dispersed in myxomatous or fibrous stroma. Neoplastic neuronal cells and hypertrophic astrocytes were also observed in these areas. The neuronal cells showed a continuous spectrum of differentiation from very primitive to mature ganglion cells. Furthermore, the tumor contained a highly cellular discrete area consisting of neuroblasts and their precursor cells. From these findings, a diagnosis of composite ganglioneuroblastoma was made.
