Overview
Neuroblastoma was first described by Rudolf Virchow in 1864 as an abdominal tumor in a child as "glioma". Felix Marchand described characteristics of tumors from adrenal medulla and sympathetic nervous system in 1891. James Homer wright in 1910, described circular clumps of bone marrow ( now named "Homer-Wright pseudorosettes) and advanced the understanding that tumor originated from primitive neural cells and could metastasize to bone.
Historical Perspective

- In 1891, Felix Marchand (german pathologist) described the characteristics of tumors from adrenal medulla and sympathetic nervous system.[2]
- In 1901, William Pepper described a neuroblastoma stage 4S presentation in infants that was metastatic to liver.
- In 1910, James Homer Wright described circular clumps of cells in bone marrow ( now named "Homer-Wright pseudorosettes) and advanced the understanding that tumor originated from primitive neural cells and could metastasize to bone.[3]
