Abstract
The authors report the case of a child with retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma and cytodifferentiated skeletal metastases. The primary tumor was surgically resected, and the child is alive and well 2 years later without additional therapy. This rarely documented phenomenon can be explained by spontaneous cytomaturation within both primary and metastatic tumor.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
