Tumors in intermediate stages of differentiation are referred to as ganglioneuroblastomas. Three notable changes occur during the progression from primitive neuroblastoma to differentiated ganglioneuroma: neuroblasts mature and come to resemble ganglion cells, the number of mitotic or karyorrhectic (dying) cells decreases, and much of the . . .
