The excellent prognosis for patients with localized cervical neuroblastoma is demonstrated by the long‐term survival of six patients over 23 years. Surgical resection was accomplished in all patients with minimal residual tumor in five. Five patients received irradiation. Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid with node metastases developed in two of these patients 11 and eight years after treatment. This high incidence of secondary thyroid carcinoma has prompted reevaluation of the management of cervical neuroblastoma.
Ureteral triplication is a rare anomaly of the upper urinary tract. The occurrence of complete ureteral triplication with an associated ureterocele has only been reported once before. A case of this extremely rare association is described, and the embryology of this condition is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
