title: [Limitations in the histopathologic diagnosis and prognosis of neuroblastoma].
abstract: Neuroblastoma is the most common nonhematopoietic solid tumor of childhood and has been intensively studied for at least 4 decades. Despite this, few predictive histopathologic clues to its behavior exist. Ages, anatomic sites of occurrence, histopathology of the tumor and clinical stage have traditionally been the only reliable prognostic factors in this disease. In the present study we analyzed these prognostic factors in 72 neuroblastic tumors and our histopathological possibilities of diagnosis.
