While neuron-specific enolase (NSE) has been described as a marker of neuronal tumors in reviews and texts, this author finds that it has better uses than this. The shortcoming for neuronal tumors is its propensity to also stain glial tumors, which commonly need to be distinguished from neuronal tumors. 7 Experimental IFIC stains such as Neu-N identify neurons by showing their on-target nuclear features rather than their cytoplasmic or confusing surface features. " 425 cases refractory to immu-nohistochemical stains, electron microscopy positively identifies Nissl substance, neurofilaments, neurosecretory granules, and synapses in neoplastic cells.
