title: Neuroblastoma in an adult.
abstract: Neuroblastoma in adults is probably a more frequent disease than is generally recognized, owing to difficulties in the microscopic diagnosis. It has no sex predominance and has occurred in patients aged 18 to 72 years. Based on the results in the patient we have described, cyclophosphamide and prednisone would seem an effective and well tolerated chemotherapeutic combination.
