Abstract
The Verner-Morrison syndrome has been described in 19 previous patients with ganglioneuroma and ganglioneuroblastoma but never neuroblastoma. Its occurrence following treatment of a neuroblastoma with chemotherapy with maturation of the tumor has only been reported on one previous occasion. Our case suggests that vasoactive intestinal polypeptide may be used not only as a diagnostic indicator for the presence of a neural crest tumor but also as a marker to monitor maturation of the tumor and indicate an improving prognosis.Entities:
