Resumo de Recurso

neuroblastoma
  1. arise from neural crest tissue in adrenal medulla & sympathetic NS
    1. biologically weird tumour
      1. spontaneous remission sometimes occurs in very young infants
      2. spectrum of disease from benign (ganglioneuroma) to highly malignant (neuroblastoma)
        1. most common before 5 years old
          1. clinical presentation
            1. common
              1. sx from metastatic disease (predominate in > 2 years old)
                1. pallor
                  1. weight loss
                    1. due to bone marrow suppression
                    2. bone pain
                      1. malaise
                        1. due to bone marrow suppression
                      2. abdo mass
                        1. most kids have this, but primary tumour can lie anywhere along sympathetic chain from neck to pelvis
                          1. classically of adrenal origin
                            1. but at presentation tumour mass often large, crossing midline & surrounding major vasculature & lymph nodes
                          2. hepatomegaly
                            1. limp

                                1. from spinal cord compression from invasion of paravertebral tumours invading through intervertrebral foramen
                                2. cervial lymphadenopathy

                                    2. Ix
                                      1. characteristic clinical + radiological features w/ raised urinary catecholamines

                                          1. bone marrow sampling
                                            1. to detect evidence of mets

                                                  2. genetic factors in tumour cells- assoc w/ poor prognosis
