1. Does not follow WP:LEAD
2. some issues with prose eg. "Its solid tumors, which take the form of a lump or mass, commonly begin in one of the adrenal glands, though they can also develop in nerve tissues in the neck, chest, abdomen, or pelvis."
3. how frequent and what are the typical presentations need to be discussed
4. no section on the history of this condition

Improved wording for item 2 above.

Will work on history for item 4.

for item number 3 above:

The most common place for neuroblastoma to originate is on the adrenal glands (40% of localized tumors and 60% of wide-spread disease). Neuroblastoma can also develop anywhere along the chain of the sympathetic nervous system: neck (1%), chest (19%), abdomen (30% non-adrenal), or pelvis (1%). In rare cases, no primary tumor can be discerned.

History added--brief, but not sure how much detail is appropriate. Can add Evans staging system (first staging system). DMLud (talk) 20:31, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
