  • Title: [Ganglioneuroblastoma of the orbit].

    Abstract:
    Ganglioneuroblastoma a transitional tumor of sympathetic origin has not yet been described as involving orbit. It is characterized by a mixture of cells ranging from primitive neuroblast to well differentiated ganglion cells within a neurofibromatous tissue. The prognosis is uncertain, as the tumor may either undergo maturation into a ganglioneuroma or may metastasize widely and rapidly as in neuroblastoma. We may postulate a relationship between ganglioneuroblastoma and Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis in view of the development of the tumor in conjunction with the phacomatosis.
