title: Third ventricular primary cerebral neuroblastoma. Electron-microscopic and immunohistochemical study.
abstract: A case of third ventricular primary cerebral neuroblastoma with secondary hydrocephalus is reported. Light microscopy showed a cell pattern that resembled either ependymoma or oligodendroglioma. The tumor was confirmed to be neuroblastoma by electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry. Immunoperoxidase staining was positive for neuron-specific enolase and negative for glial fibrillary acidic protein.
