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.
متن کاملManagement of cervicomediastinal neuroblastoma presenting with life-threatening tracheal obstruction in infancy.
The authors report on 3 infants below 6 months of age at diagnosis, with cervicomediastinal neuroblastoma who presented with life-threatening tracheal obstruction as an oncologic emergency. These neuroblastomas were characterized by favorable biology and chemoresistance. All initially grew rapidly before spontaneously regressing. Nerve injuries occurred in all patients as a result of tumor loca...
متن کاملSpontaneous maturation of stage IV--S neuroblastoma.
A case of stage IV--S neuroblastoma is presented in which treatment has deliberately been kept to a minimum. Gradual maturation to ganglioneuroma has been documented and the patient's generally good progress has justified this approach.
متن کاملCongenital Dopamine-secreting Neuroblastoma with Clinical and Biochemical Remission.
Neuroblastoma, a disease of early childhood, may be present at birth (Wells, 1940; Potter and Parrish, 1942; Bodian, 1959; Gross, Farber and Martin, 1959; King, Storaasli and Bolande, 1961; Dargeon, 1962; Voorhess and Gardner 1962a). Such cases are more likely to undergo remission than those occurring later in life (Bodian, 1959). Since Isaacs, Medalie and Politzer (1959) first noted an increas...
متن کاملElevated TrkA receptor expression is associated with all-trans retinoic acid-induced neuroblastoma differentiation.
Neuroblastoma is the most common and one of the deadliest among pediatric tumors; however, a subset of infants with neuroblastoma display spontaneous regression. The mechanism of spontaneous regression remains to be elucidated. TrkA plays an essential role in the differentiation and functionality of neurons; abundant TrkA expression is associated with favorable prognosis of neuroblastoma. All-t...
