[Primary sellar neuroblastoma (clinical case and literature review)]. / Pervichnaya sellyarnaya neiroblastoma. Klinicheskoe nablyudenie i obzor literatury.

ABSTRACT

Neuroblastoma is a malignancy developing from the embryonic neuroblasts of sympathetic nervous system. Primary sellar neuroblastomas are extremely rare (there are currently only 11 case reports in the literature). Possible development of neuroblastoma in sellar region expands differential diagnosis of local processes due to inclusion of neuroblastoma into the spectrum of suspected tumors. We report a literature review and description of a patient with primary sellar neuroblastoma.
