Giant cystic primary cerebral neuroblastoma in a child and solid primary cerebral neuroblastoma in an adult: two case reports.

摘要

Primary cerebral neuroblastoma is a rare entity in neurosurgical practice. They occur primarily in young children and are extremely rare in adults. Primary cerebral neuroblastoma is one of a group of highly malignant undifferentiated primitive neuroectodermal tumours arising from germinal matrix cells of the embryonic neural tube. They are difficult to diagnose preoperatively and pathologically. We present two cases of primary cerebral neuroblastoma.
