Chondroblastoma
What is chondroblastoma?
Sometimes called Codman's tumor, a chondroblastoma is a rare type of benign (noncancerous) bone tumor that originates from cartilage.
Neuroblastoma is a type of cancer that begins in the nerve tissues (neuroblasts) of a child's abdomen, pelvis, neck, spinal cord or adrenal glands, located above the kidneys. Neuroblastoma commonly affects children age 5 or younger.
Neuroblastoma often begins in the nerve tissue of the adrenal glands. There are two adrenal glands, one on top of each kidney in the back of the upper abdomen.
Neuroblastoma is the most common cancer among infants. Almost 90% of cases occur in children < 5 yr. Neuroblastoma can result from numerous different cytogenetic abnormalities on several chromosomes; in 1 to 2%, abnormalities appear to be inherited.
