Malignant ectomesenchymoma is a rare tumor originating from remnants of migratory neural crest(ectomesenchyme) and composed of neuroectodermal as well as mesenchymal components. Neuroblasts and ganglion cells constitute the neuroectodermal components and rhabdomyosarcoma is the most frequently encountered mesenchymal components. We report a case of malignant ectomesenchymoma in a two-month-old boy who was presented with abdominal pain and urinary difficulty. The...

Immunohistochemical Studies on Neuroendocrine Markers in Malignant Neuronal Tumors (Neuroblastoma and Ganglioneuroblastoma) in Children
Woo Yeong Chung, Sun Kyung Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1992;35(10):1377-1388.   Published online October 15, 1992
The authors studied 24 cases of malignant neuronal tumors, 14 neuroblastomas and 10 ganglioneuroblastomas, immunohistochemically, using antibodies to neuroendocrine markers including neuron specific enolase (NSE), somatostatin, chromogranin, β-endorphin, and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH). The tissue specimens were obtained by biopsy or autopsy at Pusan National University Hopital and Pusan Paik Hospital from 1980 to 1989. The positive reactivity of markers in...

Malignant atrophic papulosis (Degos’ disease) is characterized by porcelain-white skin lesions. It has unknown etiology and bad prognosis. Death usually occurs from multiple intestinal perforations weeks to years after onset. We experienced a case of Degos’ disease in a 12-year-old male patient who had porcelain white papules on face, trunk and extremities. Histopathologic studies showed broad epidermal necrobiosis with thrombotic arteriolar occlusion. A brief review of...

As childhood cancer survivors are now increasing in number owing to the improvements in diagnosis, staging, and treatment, concerns have been raised regarding the quality of survival of these patients. One of the limitation to quality and length of survival has been the development of second malignant neoplasm (SMN). In Korea, only one case of SMN has been reported. However, one can expect that...

The improvement in survival for childhood cancer has been achieved through the use of multiple- agent chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, one of the limitations to quality and length of survival has been the development of second malignant neoplasm. We exprienced a case of second malignant neoplasm in 13-year-old boy who developed osteogenic sarcoma after successful treatment of retinoblastoma. At 3 years of his age,...

Recent advances in the treatment of cancer have resulted in increased survival and possible cure for many malignant disorders, particularly childhood cancers. There has been a marked improvement in the treatment of childhood Hodgkin’s disease, and five-year survival rates for even advanced stages of Hodgkin’s disease approach or exceed more than 75% with modern treatment policies. However, successful therapy in childhood cancer is frequently...
