Behaviour: benign
(15% bilateral, 10% children,10% malignant)
part of MEN II and
von Hippel-Lindau disease

the Adrenal Gland Scoring Scale (PASS) to
separate benign from malignant neoplasms.

study of 100 cases.

PASS score <4/20 benign
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
Islets of Langerhans

adults 100 000 -1000 000
cell types:

– acute : polydipsia, ketoacidosis, coma, liver
steatosis , brain edema
– chronic: diabetes mellitus:
microangiopathy, macroangiopathy, neuropathy,
retinopathy, embryopathy

intolerance in common
--------------Chronic hyperglycemia and disturbances
of carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism.

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