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.

A histopathologic assessment of the specimen revealed Homer-Wright rosettes against a background of fibrillary matrix, which indicated a diagnosis of a neuroblastoma.

Olfactory neuroblastoma with epithelial and endocrine differentiation transformed into ganglioneuroma after chemoradiotherapy.
Miura K, Mineta H, Yokota N, Tsutsui Y.
Pathol Int. 2001;51(12):942-7.
The biopsy before chemoradiotherapy showed a neuroblastoma with Homer-Wright rosettes, fibrillary matrix, Flexner-Wintersteiner rosettes and antidiuretic hormone production.

An immunohistochemical study of peripheral neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma, anaplastic ganglioglioma, schwannoma and neurofibroma in cattle.
Omi K, Kitano Y, Agawa H, Kadota K.
J Comp Pathol. 1994;111(1):1-14.
In case 1 (peripheral neuroblastoma), the neoplastic tissue was characterized by the formation of true and Homer-Wright rosettes and the existence of neuron-specific enolase.

Am J Ophthalmol. 1990;109(4):445-9.
Histologically, the tumors were identical in each eye and well differentiated with Homer Wright rosettes; most neuroblastoma metastases have few rosettes and are composed of more undifferentiated, anaplastic cells.

Rhodes RH, Davis RL, Kassel SH, Clague BH.
Acta Neuropathol. 1978;41(2):119-24.
Routine sections of the mass showed a differentiating neuroblastoma with Homer Wright rosettes, several foci of immature neoplastic neurons (ganglion cells), and many mitoses, areas of necrosis and tumor vessels showing endothelial proliferation.

Histologically three variants, largely determined by the extent and distribution of the fibrous connective tissue stroma, are recognized: (1) a classical variant, which most resembles the peripheral neuroblastoma and is characterized by a high frequency of Homer Wright rosettes and a relatively high frequency of ganglionic differentiation; (2) a desmoplastic variant, which is characterized by an intense connective tissue stroma; and (3) a transitional variant, in which both the classical and the desmoplastic features may be present within the same case, either concurrently or consecutively.
