POSTTREATMENT NEUROBLASTOMA MATURATION TO GANGLIONIC CELL TUMOR
https://doi.org/10.17650/2222-1468-2012-0-3-69-72
Abstract
Tumor cells can differentiate into more mature forms in undifferentiated or poorly differentiated tumors, such as medulloblastomas with increased nodularity, as well as neuroblastomas. The authors describe 2 cases of neuroblastoma maturation into ganglioneuroblastoma 5 months after chemotherapy in a 2-year-old girl and 3 years after radiotherapy in a 16-year-old girl.
