Thoracic Neurolophomas

Laurence H. Smith, M.D.

From the Thoracic and Cardiovascular Division, Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, 222 W Pueblo St, Santa Barbara, CA 93105

Neural crest cells are unique. Few tissues found in the embryo are expressed with such diversity in adults. Cellular differentiation occurs simultaneously with widespread migration. Neural crest cell neoplasia results in some of the most common tumors clinically encountered. As a group, these tumors are called neurolophomas. This report describes the neural crest formation, the tissues normally derived from it, a classification of the neural crest tumors, and a review of such tumors as they arise in the thorax.
