Question:
What are microscopic sings of neuroblastoma?
Author: H KAnswer:
Larger cells having more abundant cytoplasm with large vesicular nuclei and a prominent nucleolus, representing ganglion cells in various stages of maturation, may be found in tumors admixed with primitive neuroblasts (ganglioneuroblastoma). Some neoplasms show signs of maturation, either spontaneous or therapy-induced. Even better differentiated lesions contain many more large cells resembling mature ganglion cells in the absence of residual neuroblasts; such neoplasms merit the designation ganglioneuroma Maturation of neuroblasts into ganglion cells usually is accompanied by the appearance of Schwann cells Larger
