  Objectives: Improve treatment outcomes and clarify the biological characteristics of neuroblastoma, development of an international histological classification started several years ago. Aiming at the establishment of a cytology criteria corresponding to the new histological classification, we investigated a criteria comparing lesions related to neuroblastoma on referring to the morphological indices of neuroblastoma reported in the international classification. Methods: Several tumor specimens were investigated: 37 cases of neuroblastoma (undifferentiated type: 3, poorly differentiated type: 34), 3 cases of ganglioneuroblastoma (mixed type: 2, nodular type: 1), and one case of ganglioneuroma. Stamp cytology samples were prepared from cut surfaces of the tumors and then stained to the Papanicolaou method. Results: In n.. Read More»
