MeSH definition : A moderately malignant neoplasm composed of primitive neuroectodermal cells dispersed
in myxomatous or fibrous stroma intermixed with mature ganglion cells. It may undergo
transformation into a neuroblastoma. It arises from the sympathetic trunk or less
frequently from the adrenal medulla, cerebral cortex, and other locations. Cervical
ganglioneuroblastomas may be associated with HORNER SYNDROME and the tumor may occasionally
secrete vasoactive intestinal peptide, resulting in chronic diarrhea.;
MeSH synonym : ganglioneuroblastomas;
MeSH annotation : /blood supply /chem /second /secret /ultrastruct permitted; coord IM with precoord
organ/neopl term (IM); coordinate with precoordinated organ/neoplasm term;
