Popis: The prognosis of mediastinal neuroblastoma has been reported to be better than for other neuroblastomas. The reason for this is however not clear. Furthermore, a comparison between mediastinal neuroblastoma and the other neuroblastomas has been rarely reported so far. In this study, the characteristics of mediastinal neuroblastoma (84 cases) are investigated and compared with those of other neuroblastomas (440 cases). Regarding clinical factors, the age distribution and the rate of cases detected at mass screening were similar in both groups. According to Evan's staging system, the rates of early stage (I, II) were 62% in the mediastinal neuroblastoma and 38% in the other neuroblastomas (p
