Patient demographics and tumor profiles

Patient no Sex Age at initial neuroblastoma diagnosis INSS stage at initial presentation INRGSS stage MYCN amplification 1p deletion Primary tumor site Macroscopic complete resection Pathological findings of resected metastasis Classification
1 m 6 mo 4 M No No Left adrenal gland Yes Penile metastasis: 10 g heavy nodular soft tissue excidate, 4.2 × 2.2 × 1.9 cm manifestation of differentiating neuroblastoma. No evidence of necrosis. Low mitotic and karyorrhexis index according to INPC classification Hughes: Neuroblastoma 1a. Regression grade 4. Differentiation grade 2
2 m 2 y 6 mo 4 M No No Left adrenal gland Yes Ulnar bone metastasis: 8.6 × 3.1 × 1.6 cm soft tissue excidate. Soft tissue manifestation of neuroblastoma with approximately 90% tumor viability Hughes: Neuroblastoma grade 1a. Regression grade 4. Differentiation grade 2
3 w 6 y 2 mo 4 M Yes No Right adrenal gland Yes Pancreatic metastasis: 1.1 cm diameter manifestation of the Lineuroblastoma, removed in sano, approximately 50% vital. The margins are tumor-free. Poorly differentiated, low stroma neuroblastoma with low mitosis and karyorrhexis index according to INPC with severe pleomorphism, partly in the form of pancreatic, liver and lymph node metastases, with hemangio- and lymphangioinfiltration. Liver metastasis: 80% vital, predominantly increased mature imposing compared to primary tumor Hughes: Neuroblastoma grade 3. Regression grade 4. Differentiation grade 4
