Overview
Diagnosis of neuroblastoma can be complicated. It has been called the "great masquerader" because its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Even a pathological study (biopsy) might reveal cells that can resemble other small round blue tumor cells, likelymphomas and rhabdomyosarcomas. Only a pathologist familiar with neuroblastoma can distinguish the difference (and neuroblastoma is rare).
Other Diagnostic Studies
Other characteristics of the suspected neuroblastoma cells can be studied by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy.
