Neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma is a malignant tumor of neural crest cells, the cells that give rise to the sympathetic nervous system, which is observed in children.

Neurocytoma

A benign brain tumor composed of neural elements which most often arise from the septum pellucidum and the walls of the lateral ventricles.

A rare case of extraventricular neurocytoma.
Sakurada K, Akasaka M, Kuchiki H, Saino M, Mori W, Sato S, Nakazato Y, Kayama T.
Brain Tumor Pathol. 2007;24(1):19-23.
We report an unusual case of extraventricular (cerebral) neurocytoma with a long, 25-year history, and which appeared to transform to neuroblastoma.

Cerebellar neurocytoma in an infant: an important differential diagnosis from cerebellar neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma?
Brandis A, Heyer R, Hori A, Walter GF.
Neuropediatrics. 1997;28(4):235-8.
It is suggested to call this tumor cerebellar neurocytoma, distinguishable from medulloblastoma or cerebellar neuroblastoma as most important differential diagnoses.

Intraventricular cerebral neuroblastoma. Analysis of subtypes and comparison with hemispheric neuroblastoma.

Arch Pathol Lab Med. 1994;118(9):897-911.
The following order of tumor subtypes was found in patients with increasing age: hemispheric neuroblastoma, intraventricular undifferentiated neuroblastoma, intraventricular differentiated neuroblastoma, and intraventricular neurocytoma; for patients with intraventricular neuroblastomas, this was also the order of increasing cellular maturation and survival.

Pathologic distinction of a neurocytoma was confirmed with immunostaining or ultrastructural studies that suggested that a neurocytoma is a matured neuroblastoma of a granule-cell (interneuron) phenotype.

Neurocytoma of spinal cord.
Coca S, Moreno M, Martos JA, Rodriguez J, Barcena A, Vaquero J.
Acta Neuropathol. 1994;87(5):537-40.
We conclude that this tumor is an exceptional case of neurocytoma located in the spinal cord, and consider that the term neurocytoma can be applied to tumors with neuronal differentiation intermediate between neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma, even if arising in CNS outside of the intracranial ventricular system.

Generally, the diagnosis is neurocytoma if the neuronal tissue is mature, with complete synapses, and neuroblastoma if it is immature.
