“…The evaluation of the results of treatment in these is complicated by the spontaneous recovery that sometimes occurs (Cushing and Wolbach, 1927;Ackerman and Taylor, 1951;Koop, Kiesewetter, and Horn, 1955;Bodian, 1959;Eyre-Brook and Hewer, 1962;Oberman, 1963;Swaen, 1966). The chance of spontaneous recovery is greater the younger the patient, and amounts to about I to 2% for children under I year of age (Hastings et al, 1961). The explanation for the phenomenon is not clear, and may not always be the same.…”

“…It is generally accepted that the prognosis of the intrathoracic sympatheticoblastoma is slightly better than that of the abdominal forms (Horn, Koop, and Kiesewetter, 1956;Gross, Farber, and Martin, 1959;Bodian, 1959;Hastings et al, 1961;Buschmann and Willich, 1965). Sutow (1958) found no difference in prognosis between the abdominal and the other localizations.…”

“…These calcifications were regarded as regressive changes (Startz and Abrams, 1938;Wyatt and Farber, 1941 ;Mandeville, 1949). Usually, granular calcifications were seen more or less centrally in the tumour mass (Hastings, Pollock, and Snyder, 1961), but some showed a shell-shaped extension of the calcification (Buschmann and Willich, 1965). Calcification was infrequent in the intrathoracically localized tumours (Hansman and Girdany, 1957;King, Storaasli, and Bolande, 1961).…”

“…Sutow (1958) found no difference in prognosis between the abdominal and the other localizations. In infants the chance of a cure is greater than in older children (Horn et al, 1956;Gross et al, 1959;Dargeon, 1962;Hastings et al, 1961;Vinik and Altman, 1966).…”

“…Surgical treatment of sympatheticoblastomas was often difficult because the infiltrative growth of the tumour made radical removal difficult. In general, the most radical treatment possible was applied (Wittenborg, 1950;Gross et al, 1959;King et al, 1961 ;Hastings et al, 1961). When radical excision was impossible, it remained important to remove as much of the tumour as possible.…”

This paper is a clinicopathological review of patients suffering from intrathoracic neurogenic tumours.Neurogenic tumours form one of the most frequent anomalies of the mediastinum. In the material of our department this diagnosis was made in 15% of the patients who had an affection of the mediastinum. Only intrathoracic and retrosternal struma occurred with a slightly higher frequency than neurogenic tumours.The literature contains numerous papers on intrathoracically localized neurogenic tumours

A retrospective analysis of 46 histologically proven cases of neuroblastoma is presented. The over‐all 2‐year survival was 46%. All except 1 of the 21 patients surviving 2 years were continuously free of clinical and laboratory evidence of neuroblastoma. The patients treated before 1967 were treated with partial or complete surgical excision, if feasible, and low‐dose postoperative radiation therapy with or without actinomycin‐D or cyclophosphamide chemotherapy. In this group of 27 patients, 9 survived a 2‐year period without recurrence, with a median survival of 11 months. All patients after 1967 received chemotherapy utilizing vincristine sulfate and cyclophosphamide. The patients in this group with early stage disease also had partial or complete surgical excision followed by adjunctive postoperative high‐energy radiation therapy employing higher dosages. Among the 19 patients in this latter treatment group, 12 survived 2 years, with a median survival of 36 months. The age of the patient and the site and stage of the primary neuroblastoma influenced their prognosis. Although the number of patients surviving 2 years appeared increased with more aggressive therapy, the difference in survival between the two groups may be due to other factors, such as a different patient age and primary tumor site distribution at the time of diagnosis and treatment.
