Descriptor ganglioneuroblastoma
Scope note: Neoplasia moderadamente maligna compuesta por células neuroectodérmicas primitivas dispersas en un estroma mixomatoso o fibroso entremezclado con células ganglionares maduras. Puede transformarse en un neuroblastoma. Surge en el tronco simpático o con menos frecuencia de la médula suprarrenal, la corteza cerebral u otras zonas. Los ganglioneuroblastomas cervicales pueden asociarse al SÍNDROME DE HORNER y el tumor puede segregar en ocasiones péptido intestinal vasoactivo, lo que produce diarrea crónica.

Scope note: A moderately malignant neoplasm composed of primitive neuroectodermal cells dispersed in myxomatous or fibrous stroma intermixed with mature ganglion cells. It may undergo transformation into a neuroblastoma. It arises from the sympathetic trunk or less frequently from the adrenal medulla, cerebral cortex, and other locations. Cervical ganglioneuroblastomas may be associated with HORNER SYNDROME and the tumor may occasionally secrete vasoactive intestinal peptide, resulting in chronic diarrhea.
