Ultrastructurally the primitive neural tube like structures in two teratomas were virtually identical those of developing fetal rat brains and true rosettes in a neuroblastoma. However, these tubular structures are different from each other in immunohistochemistry. These differences are considered to reflect the different developmental lineage of the tumor cells, that is, neuroblastoma produces only neuroblastic cells, and primitive neural tubes in teratoma both neuroblastic and glioblastic cells.
