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...

ganglioneuroma is a very rare cause of chronic diarrhea in children. this benign tumor usually presents with diarrhea and failure to thrive. it is necessary for physicians to be familiar with this rare cause of chronic diarrhea. here we present and discuss such a case.

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.
