[Clinico-pathologic study of 12 cases of ganglioneuroblastoma of the central nervous system].
Twelve cases of ganglioneuroblastoma of the brain, tumour rarely observed in infants and young adults, are documented. The macroscopic, histologic and biological features of this tumour are discussed and compared with those of the literature. The author proposes an histogenetic hypothesis, which takes into consideration the possible association of an underlying dysplastic condition, comparable to that observed in cases of phakomatosis. Attention is drawn to the diagnostic difficulties, especially in that which concerns the diagnosis on frozen sections.
