	Neuroectodermal neoplasms are a broad category of tumors that include both benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) growths. They can occur anywhere in the body, but are most commonly found in the [[brain]], [[spinal cord]], and [[peripheral nerves]].

'''Neuroectodermal neoplasm''' is a type of [[tumor]] that originates from the [[neuroectoderm]], the part of the [[embryo]] that develops into the [[nervous system]] and the [[skin]].

== Overview ==

Neuroectodermal neoplasms are a broad category of tumors that include both benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) growths. They can occur anywhere in the body, but are most commonly found in the [[brain]], [[spinal cord]], and [[peripheral nerves]]. These tumors can cause a variety of symptoms, depending on their location and size.

== Types ==

There are several types of neuroectodermal neoplasms, including:

* [[Neuroblastoma]]: This is the most common type of neuroectodermal neoplasm in children. It usually starts in the adrenal glands, which are small glands on top of the kidneys.
* [[Ependymoma]]: This type of tumor forms in the ependymal cells that line the ventricles of the brain and the center of the spinal cord.
