Chromosomes were successfully studied in 8 of 9 human neuroblastomas (NBs) xenografted in nude mice. Structural abnormalities in the short arm of chromosome #1 were found in 6 of the 8 tumors; these included nonreciprocal translocations and simple deletions. The breakpoints were distributed between 1p11 and 1p34, and all of them had lost the terminal portion of 1p (1pter----1p34). Double minutes (DMs) and homogeneously staining regions (HSRs) were observed in 7 tumors; 6 had either DMs or HSRs, and one had some cells with DMs and other cells with HSR. Only one tumor had neither DMs, nor HSRs. Our study revealed that structural abnormalities in the NB xenografts were essentially the same as those in the NB cell lines and fresh tumors reported previously, and that DMs and HSRs were seen in most NB xenografts as frequently as in NB cell lines.

D009447 Neuroblastoma A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome.
