| Epidemiology:
| |
| *Usually paediatric population.

| |
| *High mitotic-karyorrhectic index.
| |
| *Lack of schwannian stroma.
| |
| *>18 months.
| |
| *Near ploidy.
| |
| *N-MYC amplification.
| |
| *Lymph node spread.
| |
| *Distant spread.
| |
| | |
| Classification:
| |
| *In a grouping known as ''neuroblastic tumours'' which includes:<ref name=pmid10421272>{{cite journal |author=Shimada H, Ambros IM, Dehner LP, Hata J, Joshi VV, Roald B |title=Terminology and morphologic criteria of neuroblastic tumors: recommendations by the International Neuroblastoma Pathology Committee |journal=Cancer |volume=86 |issue=2 |pages=349–63 |year=1999 |month=July |pmid=10421272 |doi= |url=}}</ref>

| |
| **[[Ganglioneuroblastoma]] (intermediate).
| |
| **Neuroblastoma (aggressive).
| |
| | |
| ===Gross===
| |
| *Typically an abdominal mass.
| |
| **~40% arise in the [[adrenal gland]].<ref name=Ref_PCPBoD8_253>{{Ref PCPBoD8|253}}</ref>

| |
| *[[small round cell tumour|Small round blue cell]]s separated by thin (pink) fibrous septa.
| |
| *Homer-Wright rosettes.
| |
| **Rosette with a small (~100 micrometers - diameter) meshwork of fibers (neuropil) at the centre.<ref name=pmid16551982>{{cite journal |author=Wippold FJ, Perry A |title=Neuropathology for the neuroradiologist: rosettes and pseudorosettes |journal=AJNR Am J Neuroradiol |volume=27 |issue=3 |pages=488–92 |year=2006 |month=March |pmid=16551982 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
| |
| *Neuropil-like stroma = paucicellular stroma with a cotton candy-like appearance; see comparison below.
| |
| **>50% neuropil-like stroma -- otherwise it's a [[ganglioneurona]] or ganglioblastoma.
| |
| | |
| Notes:
| |
| *The fibrous septa are especially useful for differentiation from lymphoma.

| |
| *Mitoses/karyorrhectic cells.
| |
| *Molecular abnormalities.
| |
