Neuroblastoma in situ

R Hasegawa, M Tatematsu, K Imaida

    Acta Pathologica Japonica

    Summary

    This study reports two incidental cases of neuroblastoma in situ in infants found during autopsy. These findings highlight the importance of recognizing this rare form of adrenal gland tumor in early life.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Pathology
    • Oncology
    • Autopsy Studies

    Background:

    • Neuroblastoma is a common pediatric malignancy originating from neuroectodermal cells.
    • Neuroblastoma in situ (NIS) represents an early, non-invasive form of the disease, often discovered incidentally.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of NIS were identified incidentally during autopsies of infants.
    • Case 1: An 8-day-old infant with multiple foci of NIS in the left adrenal gland.
    • Case 2: A 34-day-old premature infant with a solitary NIS nodule in the right adrenal gland.

    Findings:

    • Both tumors exhibited characteristic lymphocyte-like small, dark cells with rosette formations.
    • Local infiltration was noted in both cases, but no distant metastasis was observed.
    • A review of 611 autopsy cases revealed a total of 7 NIS cases, including these two.

    Implications:

    • These findings contribute to understanding the prevalence and presentation of neuroblastoma in situ in neonates.
    • Recognizing NIS is crucial for accurate diagnosis and potentially for future research into its natural history.
    • The study underscores the value of meticulous autopsy examination for identifying rare pediatric conditions.
