==Overview==
==Overview==
Intra-abdominal neuroblastoma must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [[abdominal distension]] and [[constipation]] such as [[Wilms tumor]] and [[ganglioneuroma]]. Intra-thoracic neuroblastoma must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [[shortness of breath]] and chronic [[cough]] such as intrathoracic [[lymphoma]] and extra lobar pulmonary sequestration.
==Differentiationg Neuroblastoma from other Diseases==
==Differentiationg Neuroblastoma from other Diseases==
Other [[tumors]] also have similar origins and show a wide pattern of differentiation ranging from [[benign]] [[ganglioneuroma]] to partially differentiated ganglioneuroblastoma to highly malignant neuroblastoma.

The diagnosis is usually confirmed by a surgical pathologist, taking into account the clinical presentation, microscopic findings, and other laboratory tests. On microscopy, the tumor cells are typically described as small, round and blue, and rosette patterns (Homer-Wright pseudo-rosettes) may be seen.  A variety of immunohistochemical stains are used by pathologists to distinguish neuroblastomas from histological mimics, such as rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, lymphoma and Wilms' tumor. The N-myc amplification is characteristic, and sometimes electron microscopy is also required.

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1] Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Zahir Ali Shaikh, MD[2]Haytham Allaham, M.D. [3]

Overview

Intra-abdominal neuroblastoma must be differentiated from other diseases that cause abdominal distension and constipation such as Wilms tumor and ganglioneuroma. Intra-thoracic neuroblastoma must be differentiated from other diseases that cause shortness of breath and chronic cough such as intrathoracic lymphoma and extra lobar pulmonary sequestration.
