Overview

International neuroblastoma pathology classification system is used for the classification of neuroblastic tumors. It is subdivided in 02 main categories based on the morphologic features of neuroblastic tumors into; schwannian stroma-poor and schwannian stroma-rich/dominant.

Classification

  • International neuroblastoma pathology classification, a system based on the framework of Shimada classification with minor modifications is proposed for international use in classification of neuroblastic tumors. [1][2][3]
  • It is a biologically relevant and pathologically significant classification system based on the morphologic features of neuroblastic tumors,i-e,neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma.[4][5]
