Ganglioneuroma (occasionally called a "ganglioma") is a rare and benign tumor of the autonomic nerve fibers arising from neural crest sympathogonia (undifferentiated cells of the sympathetic nervous system). [1]
Ganglioneuroblastoma is a variant of neuroblastoma that is surrounded by ganglion cells. It can be difficult to diagnose. [1] Nodular ganglioneuroblastoma can be ...
A ganglioglioma (or gangliocytoma) is a rare, slow-growing primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor which most frequently occurs in the temporal lobes of children and young adults. [3] They are mixed cell tumors containing both neural ganglionic cells and neural glial cell components.
The most common course of treatment of DNT is surgery. About 70-90% of surgery are successful in removing the tumour. [ 4 ] Since the tumour is most often benign, and does not impose immediate threat, aggressive treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation are not needed, and therefore patients especially children and young adults do not have ...
The findings suggest that people born in the southern U.S. face a higher risk of developing dementia over time, along with people who are Black and Hispanic—although there are modifiable things ...
It consists of infiltrative threads that spread deeply into the brain, making them very difficult to remove with surgery or treat with radiation and is associated with poor prognosis. Previously it was considered to be a separate type of tumor, but this view has been overturned by molecular and genetic diagnostics.
Malignant ectomesenchymoma (MEM) is a rare tumor of soft tissues or the CNS, which is composed of both neuroectodermal elements [represented by ganglion cells and/or well-differentiated or poorly differentiated neuroblastic cells such as ganglioneuroma, ganglioneuroblastoma, neuroblastoma, peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors – PNET ...
About one in every 7,000 children is affected at some time. [2] About 90% of cases occur in children less than 5 years old, and it is rare in adults. [2] [3] Of cancer deaths in children, about 15% are due to neuroblastoma. [3] The disease was first described in the 1800s. [6]
