Primary cerebral neuroblastoma. Case report with light microscopy, tissue culture and electron microscopy study.
A cerebral neuroblastoma was studied by light microscopy, tissue culture and electron microscopy. Synapse-like structures were found within tumour cells. This supports the neuroectodermal origin of this neoplasm.
