Macro: whittish, solid, regressive changes
Micro: solid alveolar (Zellballen)
Behaviour: benign
(15% bilateral, 10% children,10% malignant)
part of MEN II and
von Hippel-Lindau disease

separate benign from malignant neoplasms.

study of 100 cases.

Neuroblastoma
(WHO: Neuroblastic tumours of adrenal gland
and sympathetic nervous system)
Def.:
childhood embryonal tumours of migrating neuroectodermal cells
derived from the neural crest and destined for the adrenal medulla
and sympathetic nervous system
Age /sex – 96% in the 1st decade , no sex predilection
Incidence: most common solid extracranial malignant tumours during
the first two years of life
Histogenesis: see definition
Clinic: palpable mass (retroperit, abd., cervical), X-ray - thoracic
Macro: soft gray-tan mass, regressive changes
Micro: undiff. + differentiating neuroblasts
Variants: neuroblastoma (undiff.), ganglioneuroblastoma intermixed,
ganglioneuroblastoma nodular, ganglioneuroma
Behaviour: malignant, dependent on age and histology variant

Diabetes mellitus - complications

acute
– hypoglycemia (DM I and insulin treatment)

– AGE – Advanced Glycosylation End-products –
diabetic micro- and macroangiopathy
– neuropathy
– infection
